Do we plot analytical functions or experimental data?

  \begin{lstlisting}
    In []: time = [0, 1, 2, 3]

    In []: distance = [7, 11, 15, 19]

\section{Simple Pendulum}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Simple Pendulum - L and T}
Let us look at the Simple Pendulum experiment.
\begin{center}
\begin{small}
\begin{tabular}{| c | c | c |}
\hline
$L$ & $T$ & $T^2$ \\ \hline
0.1 & 0.69 & \\ \hline
0.2 & 0.90 & \\ \hline
0.3 & 1.19 & \\ \hline
0.4 & 1.30 & \\ \hline
0.5 & 1.47 & \\ \hline
0.6 & 1.58 & \\ \hline
0.7 & 1.77 & \\ \hline
0.8 & 1.83 & \\ \hline
0.9 & 1.94 & \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{small}\\
\alert{$L \alpha T^2$}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Lets use lists}
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: L = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 
            0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9]

In []: t = [0.69, 0.90, 1.19, 
            1.30, 1.47, 1.58, 
            1.77, 1.83, 1.94]
\end{lstlisting}
\alert{Gotcha}: Make sure \typ{L} and \typ{t} have the same number
of elements

\begin{lstlisting}
In []: print len(L), len(t)
\end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Plotting $L$ vs $T^2$}
\begin{itemize}
\item We must square each of the values in \typ{t}
\item How do we do it?
\item We use a \kwrd{for} loop to iterate over \typ{t}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Plotting $L$ vs $T^2$}
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: tsq = []

In []: for time in t:
 ....:     tsq.append(time*time)
 ....:
 ....:

\end{lstlisting}
This gives \typ{tsq} which is the list of squares of \typ{t} values.
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: print len(L), len(t), len(tsq)
Out[]: 9 9 9
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{How do you exit the \texttt{for} loop?}
  Hitting the ``ENTER'' key twice returns the cursor to the previous indentation level
  \begin{lstlisting}
    In []: for time in t:
     ....:     tsq.append(time*time)
     ....:     
     ....:     

    In []: plot(L, tsq)
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{data/L-TSq-limited.png}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{What about larger data sets?}
\alert{Data is usually present in a file!} \\
Lets look at the \typ{pendulum.txt} file.
\begin{lstlisting} 
In []: cat pendulum.txt 
1.0000e-01 6.9004e-01
1.1000e-01 6.9497e-01
1.2000e-01 7.4252e-01
1.3000e-01 7.5360e-01
\end{lstlisting}  %$
\ldots
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Reading \typ{pendulum.txt}}
\begin{itemize}
  \item File contains L vs.\ T values 
  \item First Column - L values
  \item Second Column - T values
  \item Let us generate a plot from the data file
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
    \frametitle{Gotcha and an aside}
    Ensure you are in the same directory as \typ{pendulum.txt}\\
    if not, do the following on IPython:
    \begin{lstlisting}
In []: %cd directory_containing_file
# Check if pendulum.txt is there.
In []: ls
# Also try 
In []: !ls
    \end{lstlisting}

    \alert{Note:} \typ{\%cd} is an IPython magic command.  For more information
    do:
    \begin{lstlisting}
In []: ?
    \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Plotting from \typ{pendulum.txt}}
Open a new script and save as \typ{pendulum_plot.py}
\begin{lstlisting}
L = []
t = []
for line in open('pendulum.txt'):
    point = line.split()
    L.append(float(point[0]))
    t.append(float(point[1]))
tsq = []
for time in t:
    tsq.append(time*time)
plot(L, tsq, '.')
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Save and run}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Save as \typ{pendulum\_plot.py}
  \item Run using \kwrd{\%run -i pendulum\_plot.py}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{data/L-Tsq.png}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Reading files \ldots}
\typ{for line in open('pendulum.txt'):}
\begin{itemize}
\item opening file `\typ{pendulum.txt}'
\item reading the file line by line
\item \typ{line} is a \kwrd{string}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Strings}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Strings}
Anything within ``quotes'' is a string!
\begin{lstlisting}
' This is a string '  
" This too! "
""" This one too! """
''' And one more! '''
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Strings}
Why so many?
\begin{lstlisting}
' "Do or do not.  No try." said Yoda.'  
" ' is a mighty lonely quote."
\end{lstlisting}
The triple quoted ones can span multiple lines!

\begin{lstlisting}
""" The quick brown
fox jumped over
    the lazy dingbat. 
"""
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Strings and \typ{split()}}
  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: greet = 'hello world'

In []: greet.split()
Out[]: ['hello', 'world']
  \end{lstlisting}
This is what happens with \typ{line}
  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: line = '1.20 7.42'

In []: point = line.split()

In []: point
Out[]: ['1.20', '7.42']
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Getting floats from strings}
  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: type(point[0])
Out[]: <type 'str'>
  \end{lstlisting}
But, we need floating point numbers
  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: t = float(point[0])

In []: type(t)
Out[]: <type 'float'>
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Let's review the code}
\begin{lstlisting}
L = []
t = []
for line in open('pendulum.txt'):
    point = line.split()
    L.append(float(point[0]))
    t.append(float(point[1]))
tsq = []
for time in t:
    tsq.append(time*time)
plot(L, tsq, '.')
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
