+\begin{frame}{About the Workshop}
+ \begin{block}{Goal of the workshop}
+ At the end of this program, successful participants will be able to use python as their scripting and problem solving language. Aimed at Engg. students--focus on basic numerics and plotting-- but should serve a similar purpose for others.
+ \end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Checklist}
+ Let us verify that all of us are having the same (similar) tools and environment
+ \begin{description}
+ \item[python] Type python at the command line. Do you see version 2.5 or later?
+ \item[IPython] Is IPython available?
+ \item[Editor] Which editor? scite, vim, emacs, \ldots
+ \end{description}
+\end{frame}
+
+\section{Overview}
+\begin{frame}{Session 1}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Introduction and motivation

+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data

+ \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on

+ \item The \typ{shape} of an array is the extent (length) of the
+ array along each dimension
+ \item The \typ{rank(arr)} of an array is the ``dimensionality'' of the
+ array
+ \item The \typ{arr.itemsize} is the number of bytes (8-bits) used for
+ each element of the array
+ \item \alert{Note:} The \typ{shape} and \typ{rank} may change as
+ long as the \typ{size} of the array is fixed
+ \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
+ \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Using the interpreter}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Starting up: \typ{python} or \typ{ipython}
+ \item Quitting: \typ{Control-D} or \typ{Control-Z} (on Win32)
+ \item Can use it like a calculator
+ \item Can execute one-liners via the \typ{-c} option:
+ \typ{python -c "print 'hello world'"}
+ \item Other options via \typ{python -h}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{IPython}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Recommended interpreter, IPython:
+ \url{http://ipython.scipy.org}
+ \item Better than the default Python shell
+ \item Supports tab completion by default
+ \item Easier object introspection
+ \item Shell access!
+ \item Command system to allow extending its own behavior
+ \item Supports history (across sessions) and logging
+ \item Can be embedded in your own Python code
+ \item Support for macros
+ \item A flexible framework for your own custom interpreter
+ \item Other miscellaneous conveniences
+ \item We'll get back to this later
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Basic IPython features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Startup: \verb+ipython [options] files+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \verb+ipython [-wthread|-gthread|-qthread]+:
+ Threading modes to support wxPython, pyGTK and Qt
+ \item \verb+ipython -pylab+: Support for matplotlib
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item TAB completion:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Type \verb+object_name.<TAB>+ to see list of options
+ \item Also completes on file and directory names
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+object?+ shows docstring/help for any Python object
+ \item \verb+object??+ presents more docs (and source if possible)
+ \item Debugging with \verb+%pdb+ magic: pops up pdb on errors
+ \item Access history (saved over earlier sessions also)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use \texttt{<UpArrow>}: move up history
+ \item Use \texttt{<Ctrl-r> string}: search history backwards
+ \item Use \texttt{Esc >}: get back to end of history

+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Manipulating large Python lists for scientific computing is

+ \item Most complex computations can be reduced to a few standard
+ operations
+ \item The \num\ module provides:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data
+ types
+ \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on
+ arrays
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Numeric was the first, then came \texttt{numarray}.

+ \item \num\ arrays are of a fixed size (\typ{arr.size}) and have the

+ \item \num\ arrays may have arbitrary dimensionality
+ \item The \typ{shape} of an array is the extent (length) of the
+ array along each dimension
+ \item The \typ{rank(arr)} of an array is the ``dimensionality'' of the
+ array
+ \item The \typ{arr.itemsize} is the number of bytes (8-bits) used for
+ each element of the array
+ \item \alert{Note:} The \typ{shape} and \typ{rank} may change as
+ long as the \typ{size} of the array is fixed
+ \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
+ \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed
+ \alert{elementwise}
+ \item Indices start from 0

+\section{Python Tutorial}
+\subsection{Preliminaries}
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Using the interpreter}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Starting up: \typ{python} or \typ{ipython}
+ \item Quitting: \typ{Control-D} or \typ{Control-Z} (on Win32)
+ \item Can use it like a calculator
+ \item Can execute one-liners via the \typ{-c} option:
+ \typ{python -c "print 'hello world'"}
+ \item Other options via \typ{python -h}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{IPython}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Recommended interpreter, IPython:
+ \url{http://ipython.scipy.org}
+ \item Better than the default Python shell
+ \item Supports tab completion by default
+ \item Easier object introspection
+ \item Shell access!
+ \item Command system to allow extending its own behavior
+ \item Supports history (across sessions) and logging
+ \item Can be embedded in your own Python code
+ \item Support for macros
+ \item A flexible framework for your own custom interpreter
+ \item Other miscellaneous conveniences
+ \item We'll get back to this later
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Basic IPython features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Startup: \verb+ipython [options] files+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \verb+ipython [-wthread|-gthread|-qthread]+:
+ Threading modes to support wxPython, pyGTK and Qt
+ \item \verb+ipython -pylab+: Support for matplotlib
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item TAB completion:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Type \verb+object_name.<TAB>+ to see list of options
+ \item Also completes on file and directory names
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+object?+ shows docstring/help for any Python object
+ \item \verb+object??+ presents more docs (and source if possible)
+ \item Debugging with \verb+%pdb+ magic: pops up pdb on errors
+ \item Access history (saved over earlier sessions also)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use \texttt{<UpArrow>}: move up history
+ \item Use \texttt{<Ctrl-r> string}: search history backwards
+ \item Use \texttt{Esc >}: get back to end of history
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+%run [options] file[.py]+ lets you run Python code
+ \end{itemize}

+ \item Types are of two kinds: \alert{mutable} and \alert{immutable}
+ \item Immutable types: numbers, strings, \typ{None} and tuples

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{The \num\ module}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Manipulating large Python lists for scientific computing is
+ \alert{slow}
+ \item Most complex computations can be reduced to a few standard
+ operations
+ \item The \num\ module provides:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data
+ types
+ \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on
+ arrays
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Numeric was the first, then came \texttt{numarray}.
+ \texttt{numpy} is the latest and is the future
+ \item This course uses \num\ and only covers the absolute basics
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Basic concepts}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \num\ arrays are of a fixed size (\typ{arr.size}) and have the
+ same type (\typ{arr.dtype})
+ \item \num\ arrays may have arbitrary dimensionality
+ \item The \typ{shape} of an array is the extent (length) of the
+ array along each dimension
+ \item The \typ{rank(arr)} of an array is the ``dimensionality'' of the
+ array
+ \item The \typ{arr.itemsize} is the number of bytes (8-bits) used for
+ each element of the array
+ \item \alert{Note:} The \typ{shape} and \typ{rank} may change as
+ long as the \typ{size} of the array is fixed
+ \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
+ \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed
+ \alert{elementwise}
+ \item Indices start from 0

+\section{Python Tutorial}
+\subsection{Preliminaries}
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Using the interpreter}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Starting up: \typ{python} or \typ{ipython}
+ \item Quitting: \typ{Control-D} or \typ{Control-Z} (on Win32)
+ \item Can use it like a calculator
+ \item Can execute one-liners via the \typ{-c} option:
+ \typ{python -c "print 'hello world'"}
+ \item Other options via \typ{python -h}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{IPython}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Recommended interpreter, IPython:
+ \url{http://ipython.scipy.org}
+ \item Better than the default Python shell
+ \item Supports tab completion by default
+ \item Easier object introspection
+ \item Shell access!
+ \item Command system to allow extending its own behavior
+ \item Supports history (across sessions) and logging
+ \item Can be embedded in your own Python code
+ \item Support for macros
+ \item A flexible framework for your own custom interpreter
+ \item Other miscellaneous conveniences
+ \item We'll get back to this later
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Basic IPython features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Startup: \verb+ipython [options] files+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \verb+ipython [-wthread|-gthread|-qthread]+:
+ Threading modes to support wxPython, pyGTK and Qt
+ \item \verb+ipython -pylab+: Support for matplotlib
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item TAB completion:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Type \verb+object_name.<TAB>+ to see list of options
+ \item Also completes on file and directory names
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+object?+ shows docstring/help for any Python object
+ \item \verb+object??+ presents more docs (and source if possible)
+ \item Debugging with \verb+%pdb+ magic: pops up pdb on errors
+ \item Access history (saved over earlier sessions also)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use \texttt{<UpArrow>}: move up history
+ \item Use \texttt{<Ctrl-r> string}: search history backwards
+ \item Use \texttt{Esc >}: get back to end of history
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+%run [options] file[.py]+ lets you run Python code
+ \end{itemize}

+
+ \item Types are of two kinds: \alert{mutable} and \alert{immutable}
+ \item Immutable types: numbers, strings, \typ{None} and tuples
+ \item Immutables cannot be changed ``in-place''
+ \item Mutable types: lists, dictionaries, instances, etc.
+ \item Mutable objects can be ``changed''
+ \end{itemize}

+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data

+ \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on
+ arrays
+ \end{itemize}

+ \item \num\ arrays may have arbitrary dimensionality
+ \item The \typ{shape} of an array is the extent (length) of the
+ array along each dimension
+ \item The \typ{rank(arr)} of an array is the ``dimensionality'' of the
+ array
+ \item The \typ{arr.itemsize} is the number of bytes (8-bits) used for
+ each element of the array
+ \item \alert{Note:} The \typ{shape} and \typ{rank} may change as
+ long as the \typ{size} of the array is fixed
+ \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
+ \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed
+ \alert{elementwise}

+ \item Quitting: \typ{Control-D} or \typ{Control-Z} (on Win32)
+ \item Can use it like a calculator
+ \item Can execute one-liners via the \typ{-c} option:
+ \typ{python -c "print 'hello world'"}
+ \item Other options via \typ{python -h}
+ \end{itemize}

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{IPython}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Recommended interpreter, IPython:
+ \url{http://ipython.scipy.org}
+ \item Better than the default Python shell
+ \item Supports tab completion by default
+ \item Easier object introspection
+ \item Shell access!
+ \item Command system to allow extending its own behavior
+ \item Supports history (across sessions) and logging
+ \item Can be embedded in your own Python code
+ \item Support for macros
+ \item A flexible framework for your own custom interpreter
+ \item Other miscellaneous conveniences
+ \item We'll get back to this later
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Basic IPython features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Startup: \verb+ipython [options] files+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \verb+ipython [-wthread|-gthread|-qthread]+:
+ Threading modes to support wxPython, pyGTK and Qt
+ \item \verb+ipython -pylab+: Support for matplotlib
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item TAB completion:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Type \verb+object_name.<TAB>+ to see list of options
+ \item Also completes on file and directory names
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+object?+ shows docstring/help for any Python object
+ \item \verb+object??+ presents more docs (and source if possible)
+ \item Debugging with \verb+%pdb+ magic: pops up pdb on errors
+ \item Access history (saved over earlier sessions also)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use \texttt{<UpArrow>}: move up history
+ \item Use \texttt{<Ctrl-r> string}: search history backwards
+ \item Use \texttt{Esc >}: get back to end of history
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+%run [options] file[.py]+ lets you run Python code

+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data
+ types
+ \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on
+ arrays
+ \end{itemize}

+ \item \num\ arrays may have arbitrary dimensionality
+ \item The \typ{shape} of an array is the extent (length) of the
+ array along each dimension
+ \item The \typ{rank(arr)} of an array is the ``dimensionality'' of the
+ array
+ \item The \typ{arr.itemsize} is the number of bytes (8-bits) used for
+ each element of the array
+ \item \alert{Note:} The \typ{shape} and \typ{rank} may change as
+ long as the \typ{size} of the array is fixed
+ \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
+ \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed
+ \alert{elementwise}

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Using the interpreter}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Starting up: \typ{python} or \typ{ipython}
+ \item Quitting: \typ{Control-D} or \typ{Control-Z} (on Win32)
+ \item Can use it like a calculator
+ \item Can execute one-liners via the \typ{-c} option:
+ \typ{python -c "print 'hello world'"}
+ \item Other options via \typ{python -h}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{IPython}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Recommended interpreter, IPython:
+ \url{http://ipython.scipy.org}
+ \item Better than the default Python shell
+ \item Supports tab completion by default
+ \item Easier object introspection
+ \item Shell access!
+ \item Command system to allow extending its own behavior
+ \item Supports history (across sessions) and logging
+ \item Can be embedded in your own Python code
+ \item Support for macros
+ \item A flexible framework for your own custom interpreter
+ \item Other miscellaneous conveniences
+ \item We'll get back to this later
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Basic IPython features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Startup: \verb+ipython [options] files+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \verb+ipython [-wthread|-gthread|-qthread]+:
+ Threading modes to support wxPython, pyGTK and Qt
+ \item \verb+ipython -pylab+: Support for matplotlib
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item TAB completion:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Type \verb+object_name.<TAB>+ to see list of options
+ \item Also completes on file and directory names
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+object?+ shows docstring/help for any Python object
+ \item \verb+object??+ presents more docs (and source if possible)
+ \item Debugging with \verb+%pdb+ magic: pops up pdb on errors
+ \item Access history (saved over earlier sessions also)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use \texttt{<UpArrow>}: move up history
+ \item Use \texttt{<Ctrl-r> string}: search history backwards
+ \item Use \texttt{Esc >}: get back to end of history
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \verb+%run [options] file[.py]+ lets you run Python code
+ \end{itemize}
