+Hello and welcome to the tutorial on creating simple plots using
+Python.This tutorial is presented by the Fossee group.  
+{{{ Show the Title Slide }}} 
+
+I hope you have IPython running on your computer.
+
+In this tutorial we will look at plot command and also how to study
+the plot using the UI.
+
+{{{ Show Outline Slide }}}
+
+Lets start ipython on your shell, type :: 
+
+      $ipython -pylab
+
+
+Pylab is a python library which provides plotting functionality.It
+also provides many other important mathematical and scientific
+functions. After running IPython -pylab in your shell if at the top of
+the result of this command, you see something like ::
+ 
+
+   `ERROR: matplotlib could NOT be imported!  Starting normal
+      IPython.`
+
+
+{{{ Slide with Error written on it }}}
+
+Then you have to install matplotlib and run this command again.
+
+Now type in your ipython shell ::
+
+             In[]: linpace?
+
+
+
+as the documentation says, it returns `num` evenly spaced samples,
+calculated over the interval start and stop.  To illustrate this, lets
+do it form 1 to 100 and try 100 points.  ::
+
+           In[]: linspace(1,100,100)
+
+As you can see a sequence of numbers from 1 to 100 appears.
+
+Now lets try 200 points between 0 and 1 you do this by typing ::
+
+
+            In[]: linspace(0,1,200)
+
+0 for start , 1 for stop and 200 for no of points.  In linspace 
+the start and stop points can be integers, decimals , or
+constants. Let's try and get 100 points between -pi to pi. Type ::
+           
+            In[]: p = linspace(-pi,pi,100)
+
+
+'pi' here is constant defined by pylab. Save this to the variable, p
+.
+
+If you now ::
+     
+	   In[]: len(p)
+
+You will get the no. of points. len function gives the no of elements
+of a sequence.
+
+
+Let's try and plot a cosine curve between -pi and pi using these
+points.  Simply type :: 
+
+
+       	  In[]: plot(p,cos(points))
+
+Here cos(points) gets the cosine value at every corresponding point to
+p.
+
+
+We can also save cos(points) to variable cosine and plot it using
+plot.::
+
+           In[]: cosine=cos(points) 
+
+	   In[]: plot(p,cosine)
+
+ 
+
+Now do ::
+       	 
+	   In[]: clf()
+
+this will clear the plot.
+
+This is done because any other plot we try to make shall come on the
+same drawing area. As we do not wish to clutter the area with
+overlaid plots , we just clear it with clf().  Now lets try a sine
+plot. ::
+
+
+    	 In []: plot(p,sin(p))
+
+
+
+ 
+The Window on which the plot appears can be used to study it better.
+
+First of all moving the mouse around gives us the point where mouse
+points at.  
+
+Also we have some buttons the right most among them is
+for saving the file. 
+
+Just click on it specifying the name of the file.  We will save the plot 
+by the name sin_curve in pdf format.
+
+
+
+{{{ Action corelating with the words }}}
+
+As you can see I can specify format of file from the dropdown.
+
+Formats like png ,eps ,pdf, ps are available.  
+
+Left to the save button is the slider button to specify the margins.  
+
+{{{ Action corelating with the words  }}}
+
+Left to this is zoom button to zoom into the plot. Just specify the 
+region to zoom into.  
+The button left to it can be used to move the axes of the plot.  
+
+{{{ Action corelating with the words }}}
+ 
+The next two buttons with a left and right arrow icons change the state of the 
+plot and take it to the previous state it was in. It more or less acts like a
+back and forward button in the browser.  
+
+{{{ Action corelating with the words }}}
+
+The last one is 'home' referring to the initial plot.
+
+{{{ Action corelating with the words}}}
+
+
+
+{{{ Summary Slide }}}
+
+
+In this tutorial we have looked at 
+
+1. Starting Ipython with pylab 
+
+2. Using linspace function to create `num` equaly spaced points in a region.
+
+3. Finding length of sequnces using  len.
+ 
+4. Plotting mathematical functions using plot.
+
+4. Clearing drawing area using clf 
+ 
+5. Using the UI of plot for studying it better . Using functionalities like save , zoom , moving the plots on x and y axis 
+
+etc ..

+Hello friends and welcome to the tutorial on statistics using Python
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing title }}}
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing the outline slide }}}
+
+In this tutorial, we shall learn
+ * Doing simple statistical operations in Python  
+ * Applying these to real world problems 
+
+You will need Ipython with pylab running on your computer
+to use this tutorial.
+
+Also you will need to know about loading data using loadtxt to be 
+able to follow the real world application.
+
+We will first start with the most necessary statistical 
+operation i.e finding mean.
+
+We have a list of ages of a random group of people ::
+   
+   age_list=[4,45,23,34,34,38,65,42,32,7]
+
+One way of getting the mean could be getting sum of 
+all the elements and dividing by length of the list.::
+
+    sum_age_list =sum(age_list)
+
+sum function gives us the sum of the elements.::
+
+    mean_using_sum=float(sum_age_list)/len(age_list)
+
+This obviously gives the mean age but python has another 
+method for getting the mean. This is the mean function::
+
+       mean(age_list)
+
+Mean can be used in more ways in case of 2 dimensional lists.
+Take a two dimensional list ::
+     
+     two_dimension=[[1,5,6,8],[1,3,4,5]]
+
+the mean function used in default manner will give the mean of the 
+flattened sequence. Flattened sequence means the two lists taken 
+as if it was a single list of elements ::
+
+    mean(two_dimension)
+    flattened_seq=[1,5,6,8,1,3,4,5]
+    mean(flattened_seq)
+
+As you can see both the results are same. The other way is mean 
+of each column.::
+   
+   mean(two_dimension,0)
+   array([ 1. ,  4. ,  5. ,  6.5])
+
+we pass an extra argument 0 in that case.
+
+In case of getting mean along the rows the argument is 1::
+   
+   mean(two_dimension,1)
+   array([ 5.  ,  3.25])
+
+We can see more option of mean using ::
+   
+   mean?
+
+Similarly we can calculate median and stanard deviation of a list
+using the functions median and std::
+      
+      median(age_list)
+      std(age_list)
+
+Median and std can also be calculated for two dimensional arrays along columns and rows just like mean.
+
+       For example ::
+       
+       median(two_dimension,0)
+       std(two_dimension,1)
+
+This gives us the median along the colums and standard devition along the rows.
+       
+Now lets apply this to a real world example 
+    
+We will a data file that is at the a path
+``/home/fossee/sslc2.txt``.It contains record of students and their
+performance in one of the State Secondary Board Examination. It has
+180, 000 lines of record. We are going to read it and process this
+data.  We can see the content of file by double clicking on it. It
+might take some time to open since it is quite a large file.  Please
+don't edit the data.  This file has a particular structure.
+
+We can do ::
+   
+   cat /home/fossee/sslc2.txt
+
+to check the contents of the file.
+
+Each line in the file is a set of 11 fields separated 
+by semi-colons Consider a sample line from this file.  
+A;015163;JOSEPH RAJ S;083;042;47;00;72;244;;; 
+
+The following are the fields in any given line.
+* Region Code which is 'A'
+* Roll Number 015163
+* Name JOSEPH RAJ S
+* Marks of 5 subjects: ** English 083 ** Hindi 042 ** Maths 47 **
+Science AA (Absent) ** Social 72
+* Total marks 244
+*
+
+Now lets try and find the mean of English marks of all students.
+
+For this we do. ::
+
+     L=loadtxt('/home/fossee/sslc2.txt',usecols=(3,),delimiter=';')
+     L
+     mean(L)
+
+loadtxt function loads data from an external file.Delimiter specifies
+the kind of character are the fields of data seperated by. 
+usecols specifies  the columns to be used so (3,). The 'comma' is added
+because usecols is a sequence.
+
+To get the median marks. ::
+   
+   median(L)
+   
+Standard deviation. ::
+	
+	std(L)
+
+
+Now lets try and and get the mean for all the subjects ::
+
+     L=loadtxt('/home/fossee/sslc2.txt',usecols=(3,4,5,6,7),delimiter=';')
+     mean(L,0)
+     array([ 73.55452504,  53.79828941,  62.83342759,  50.69806158,  63.17056881])
+
+As we can see from the result mean(L,0). The resultant sequence  
+is the mean marks of all students that gave the exam for the five subjects.
+
+and ::
+    
+    mean(L,1)
+
+    
+is the average accumalative marks of individual students. Clearly, mean(L,0)
+was a row wise calcultaion while mean(L,1) was a column wise calculation.
+
+
+{{{ Show summary slide }}}
+
+This brings us to the end of the tutorial.
+we have learnt
+
+ * How to do the standard statistical operations sum , mean
+   median and standard deviation in Python.
+ * Combine text loading and the statistical operation to solve
+   real world problems.

+Symbolics with Sage
+-------------------
+
+Hello friends and welcome to the tutorial on symbolics with sage.
+
+
+.. #[Madhu: Sounds more or less like an ad!]
+
+{{{ Part of Notebook with title }}}
+
+.. #[Madhu: Please make your instructions, instructional. While
+     recording if I have to read this, think what you are actually
+     meaning it will take a lot of time]
+
+We would be using simple mathematical functions on the sage notebook
+for this tutorial.
+
+.. #[Madhu: What is this line doing here. I don't see much use of it]
+
+During the course of the tutorial we will learn
+
+{{{ Part of Notebook with outline }}}
+
+To define symbolic expressions in sage.  Use built-in costants and
+function. Integration, differentiation using sage. Defining
+matrices. Defining Symbolic functions. Simplifying and solving
+symbolic expressions and functions.
+
+.. #[Nishanth]: The formatting is all messed up
+                First fix the formatting and compile the rst
+                The I shall review
+.. #[Madhu: Please make the above items full english sentences, not
+     the slides like points. The person recording should be able to
+     read your script as is. It can read something like "we will learn
+     how to define symbolic expressions in Sage, using built-in ..."]
+
+Using sage we can perform mathematical operations on symbols.
+
+.. #[Madhu: Same mistake with period symbols! Please get the
+     punctuation right. Also you may have to rephrase the above
+     sentence as "We can use Sage to perform sybmolic mathematical
+     operations" or such]
+
+On the sage notebook type::
+   
+    sin(y)
+
+It raises a name error saying that y is not defined. But in sage we
+can declare y as a symbol using var function.
+
+.. #[Madhu: But is not required]
+::
+    var('y')
+   
+Now if you type::
+
+    sin(y)
+
+    sage simply returns the expression .
+
+.. #[Madhu: Why is this line indented? Also full stop. When will you
+     learn? Yes we can correct you. But corrections are for you to
+     learn. If you don't learn from your mistakes, I don't know what
+     to say]
+
+thus now sage treats sin(y) as a symbolic expression . You can use
+this to do a lot of symbolic maths using sage's built-in constants and
+expressions .
+
+.. #[Madhu: "Thus now"? It sounds like Dus and Nou, i.e 10 and 9 in
+     Hindi! Full stop again. "a lot" doesn't mean anything until you
+     quantify it or give examples.]
+
+Try out
+
+.. #[Madhu: "So let us try" sounds better]
+ ::
+   
+   var('x,alpha,y,beta') x^2/alpha^2+y^2/beta^2
+ 
+Similarly , we can define many algebraic and trigonometric expressions
+using sage .
+
+.. #[Madhu: comma again. Show some more examples?]
+
+
+Sage also provides a few built-in constants which are commonly used in
+mathematics .
+
+example : pi,e,oo , Function n gives the numerical values of all these
+    constants.
+
+.. #[Madhu: This doesn't sound like scripts. How will I read this
+     while recording. Also if I were recording I would have read your
+     third constant as Oh-Oh i.e. double O. It took me at least 30
+     seconds to figure out it is infinity]
+
+For instance::
+
+   n(e)
+   
+   2.71828182845905
+
+gives numerical value of e.
+
+If you look into the documentation of n by doing
+
+.. #[Madhu: "documentation of the function "n"?]
+
+::
+   n(<Tab>
+
+You will see what all arguments it can take etc .. It will be very
+helpful if you look at the documentation of all functions introduced
+
+.. #[Madhu: What does etc .. mean in a script?]
+
+Also we can define the no of digits we wish to use in the numerical
+value . For this we have to pass an argument digits.  Type
+
+.. #[Madhu: "no of digits"? Also "We wish to obtain" than "we wish to
+     use"?]
+::
+
+   n(pi, digits = 10)
+
+Apart from the constants sage also has a lot of builtin functions like
+sin,cos,sinh,cosh,log,factorial,gamma,exp,arcsin,arccos,arctan etc ...
+lets try some out on the sage notebook.
+
+.. #[Madhu: Here "a lot" makes sense]
+::
+     
+   sin(pi/2)
+   
+   arctan(oo)
+     
+   log(e,e)
+
+
+Given that we have defined variables like x,y etc .. , We can define
+an arbitrary function with desired name in the following way.::
+
+       var('x') function(<tab> {{{ Just to show the documentation
+       extend this line }}} function('f',x)
+
+.. #[Madhu: What will the person recording show in the documentation
+     without a script for it? Please don't assume recorder can cook up
+     things while recording. It is impractical]
+
+Here f is the name of the function and x is the independent variable .
+Now we can define f(x) to be ::
+
+     f(x) = x/2 + sin(x)
+
+Evaluating this function f for the value x=pi returns pi/2.::
+	   
+	   f(pi)
+
+We can also define functions that are not continuous but defined
+piecewise.  We will be using a function which is a parabola between 0
+to 1 and a constant from 1 to 2 .  type the following as given on the
+screen
+
+.. #[Madhu: Instead of "We will be using ..." how about "Let us define
+     a function ..."]
+::
+      
+
+      var('x') h(x)=x^2 g(x)=1 f=Piecewise(<Tab> {{{ Just to show the
+      documentation extend this line }}}
+      f=Piecewise([[(0,1),h(x)],[(1,2),g(x)]],x) f
+
+Checking f at 0.4, 1.4 and 3 :: f(0.4) f(1.4) f(3)
+
+.. #[Madhu: Again this doesn't sound like a script]
+
+for f(3) it raises a value not defined in domain error .
+
+
+Apart from operations on expressions and functions one can also use
+them for series .
+
+.. #[Madhu: I am not able to understand this line. "Use them as
+.. series". Use what as series?]
+
+We first define a function f(n) in the way discussed above.::
+
+   var('n') function('f', n)
+
+.. #[Madhu: Shouldn't this be on 2 separate lines?]
+
+To sum the function for a range of discrete values of n, we use the
+sage function sum.
+
+For a convergent series , f(n)=1/n^2 we can say ::
+   
+   var('n') function('f', n)
+
+   f(n) = 1/n^2
+
+   sum(f(n), n, 1, oo)
+
+For the famous Madhava series :: var('n') function('f', n)
+
+.. #[Madhu: What is this? your double colon says it must be code block
+     but where is the indentation and other things. How will the
+     recorder know about it?]
+
+    f(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*1/(2*n - 1)
+
+This series converges to pi/4. It was used by ancient Indians to
+interpret pi.
+
+.. #[Madhu: I am losing the context. Please add something to bring
+     this thing to the context]
+
+For a divergent series, sum would raise a an error 'Sum is
+divergent' :: 
+	
+	var('n') 
+	function('f', n) 
+	f(n) = 1/n sum(f(n), n,1, oo)
+
+
+
+
+We can perform simple calculus operation using sage
+
+.. #[Madhu: When you switch to irrelevant topics make sure you use
+    some connectors in English like "Moving on let us see how to
+    perform simple calculus operations using Sage" or something like
+    that]
+For example lets try an expression first ::
+
+    diff(x**2+sin(x),x) 2x+cos(x)
+
+The diff function differentiates an expression or a function . Its
+first argument is expression or function and second argument is the
+independent variable .
+
+.. #[Madhu: Full stop, Full stop, Full stop]
+
+We have already tried an expression now lets try a function ::
+
+   f=exp(x^2)+arcsin(x) diff(f(x),x)
+
+To get a higher order differentiation we need to add an extra argument
+for order ::
+ 
+   diff(<tab> diff(f(x),x,3)
+
+.. #[Madhu: Please try to be more explicit saying third argument]
+
+in this case it is 3.
+
+
+Just like differentiation of expression you can also integrate them ::
+
+     x = var('x') s = integral(1/(1 + (tan(x))**2),x) s
+
+.. #[Madhu: Two separate lines.]
+
+To find the factors of an expression use the "factor" function
+
+.. #[Madhu: See the diff]
+
+::
+    factor(<tab> y = (x^100 - x^70)*(cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^2*tan(x)^2) f =
+    factor(y)
+
+One can also simplify complicated expression using sage ::
+    f.simplify_full()
+
+This simplifies the expression fully . You can also do simplification
+of just the algebraic part and the trigonometric part ::
+
+    f.simplify_exp() f.simplify_trig()
+    
+.. #[Madhu: Separate lines?]
+
+One can also find roots of an equation by using find_root function::
+
+    phi = var('phi') find_root(cos(phi)==sin(phi),0,pi/2)
+
+.. #[Madhu: Separate lines?]
+
+Lets substitute this solution into the equation and see we were
+correct ::
+
+     var('phi') f(phi)=cos(phi)-sin(phi)
+     root=find_root(f(phi)==0,0,pi/2) f.substitute(phi=root)
+
+.. #[Madhu: Separate lines?]
+
+as we can see the solution is almost equal to zero .
+
+.. #[Madhu: So what?]
+
+We can also define symbolic matrices ::
+
+
+
+   var('a,b,c,d') A=matrix([[a,1,0],[0,b,0],[0,c,d]]) A
+
+.. #[Madhu: Why don't you break the lines?]
+
+Now lets do some of the matrix operations on this matrix
+
+.. #[Madhu: Why don't you break the lines? Also how do you connect
+     this up? Use some transformation keywords in English]
+::
+    A.det() A.inverse()
+
+.. #[Madhu: Why don't you break the lines?]
+
+You can do ::
+    
+    A.<Tab>
+
+To see what all operations are available
+
+.. #[Madhu: Sounds very abrupt]
+
+{{{ Part of the notebook with summary }}}
+
+So in this tutorial we learnt how to
+
+
+We learnt about defining symbolic expression and functions .  
+And some built-in constants and functions .  
+Getting value of built-in constants using n function.  
+Using Tab to see the documentation.  
+Also we learnt how to sum a series using sum function.  
+diff() and integrate() for calculus operations .  
+Finding roots , factors and simplifying expression using find_root(), 
+factor() , simplify_full, simplify_exp , simplify_trig .
+Substituting values in expression using substitute function.
+And finally creating symbolic matrices and performing operation on them .
+
+.. #[Madhu: See what Nishanth is doing. He has written this as
+     points. So easy to read out while recording. You may want to
+     reorganize like that]
