1. We will see how we can represent a sequence of numbers in Python.

2. We will also become fimiliar with  elementwise squaring of such a

One needs   to  be  fimiliar  with  the   concepts  of  plotting

We will use  data from a Simple Pendulum  Experiment to illustrate our

As we know for a simple pendulum length,L is directly  proportional to 
3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data
amit
parents:
diff changeset
    54
the square of time,T. We shall be plotting L and T^2 values.

First  we will have  to initiate L and  T values. We initiate them as sequence 
3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data
amit
parents:
diff changeset
    58
of values.  To tell ipython a sequence of values we  write the sequence in 
3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data
amit
parents:
diff changeset
    59
comma  seperated values inside two square brackets.  This is also  called List 
3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data
amit
parents:

so to create two sequences

To obtain the  square of sequence t we will  use the function square

Now we  shall try  and take into  account error  into our plots . The

Error values for L and T  are on your screen.We shall again intialize

the sequence values in the same manner as we did for L and t ::

Now to plot L vs T^2 with an error bar we use the function errorbar()

3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data

The syntax of the command is as given on the screen. ::

3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data
amit

amit
parents:

   113
3cacbcad4c42 Adding plotting data

parents:

This gives a  plot with error bar for  x and y axis. The  dots are of blue color. The parameters xerr and yerr are error on x and y axis and fmt is the format of the plot.

similarly we can draw the same error bar with big red dots just change
