Syllabus

You can download the syllabus here. The syllabus includes information on grading, course goals, and policies I will use in teaching this course.

Textbooks

We will be using Python for Biologists and Advanced Python for Biologists, by Martin Jones. These books were written especially for scientists who are new to programming. The author maintains a website for the books here.

Homework

Specific assignments are given below. Please note that homeworks are very important, and make up a very large portion of your grade. If you fall behind, you will likely do poorly on the exams as well. Homework should follow the specifications given here.

Homeworks can be turned in here.

Other Resources

Additional resources will be placed here.

• Our Jupyter server. (You will only be able to access this from on campus, unless you have an active VPN running.)
• The Jupyter Project. You can download the application for your computer here.
• A Python tutorial is here, for those who might want a more programmer-centric approach to the language.
