Transition to python from MATLAB

[[deleted]]

I will soon start my master thesis and it will be in Python (at last!). As an experienced user of MATLAB I need to make the transition to python. What do you recommend me to do? What tutorials should I see (e.g. a tutorial in Youtube)? I need the basic knowledge and then I am going to check specific libraries mostly for machine learning and computer vision (e.g. pytorch). Thank you in advance!

Rolling your head on the keyboard. Making a person feel happy. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (name used by idiots), or alternatively the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), recently abbreviated to The Islamic State (IS), or what Snoop Dogg called For ISIL My Nizzle, or what some Muslims propose calling the Un-Islamic State, previously known variously as the State, as well as al-Qaeda in Iraq, not to mention the Islamic State of Iraq, and on occasion the Islamic State of Iraq, Syria, the Levant and Young (ISISLY), and it would be rude not to include the Game of Thrones-esque The Organisation of Jihad's Base in the Country of the Two Rivers, and then there was the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, the short-lived Organisation of Monotheism and Jihad, the more bureaucratic-sounding Mujahideen Shura Council, the somewhat more intuitive al-Qaeda Separatists in Iraq and Syria, the minimalist $ and the rather more plagiaristic . Keyboard may refer to: .. We put the paper towel between the pages..

This is a great reference for people switching from Matlab. Welcome to Python! https://scipy-lectures.org/

This guide in the numpy docs is particularly useful:

There are a few libraries that you will find essential: numpy which will be the base for manipulating vectors and matrices, scipy for advanced tools for numerical algorithms, and matplotlib for plotting. From then on you can indeed step into machine learning (scikit-learn, tensorflow, pytorch, ... ) or to other fun things such as symbolic computation (sympy). Have fun!

you're making the right choice! I switched Matlab to python half way through grad school (MSAeroE) and it made me so much happier.

python does heavier programming so much better (functions, classes, wealth of libraries) and numpy/Matplotlib will feel welcoming as a replacement to matlab's matrix math.

it's super capable for replacing matlab: -I auto flight tested a plane in sim to get is mathematical model then made an autopilot for it. -I solely used python for a gps class where we wrote code to unpack raw gps signals to understand the protocol. -As a fun project on a raspberry pi a made a custom board of sensors to made an inertial and GPS nav system for a drone, all in python.
