This is the first of two compact lectures on Python (for Matlab users or other programmers).

Before you work with this have Python installed.

We recommend that you install Python by using the Anaconda virtual environment.

How to proceed is described on the Python Installation.

The lecture notes can be found here: Lecture1_py.pdf, Lecture2 .pdf

You might also want to run all these examples in the Jupyter notebook. For this end download the corresponding notebook file Lecture1.ipynb, Lecture2.ipynb and execute in the same directory the command

jupyter notebook

This will open the browser with a list of all files of the current directory. Select the notebook file and wait a while and proceed.
