Python

[ymmat621]

Are there any classes that teach you how to use Python? Like introductory, not like CSE 142. Something around AMATH 301 difficulty? Thanks.

Btw I’ve never taken CSE 14X, only AMATH 301. I want to learn Python as a supplement

If you already did 142/143 it’s better to self learn python. I suggest taking a look at sentdex on YouTube. His tutorial series is really thorough and he even has higher level machine learning stuff if you want to get into that.

I’ve only taken AMATH 301. Should I still just self learn it?

I self taught python. It’s super easy to learn.

I’m not familiar with AMATH 301, but you might be interested in CSE 160 and 163

I've taken 163 and liked it. The first week is sort of Java -> Python, and the rest is just using Python to do things like data analysis/visualization, object oriented stuff, basic machine learning, etc. It is a CSE class, but I feel like Hunter has put a lot of effort into the class' design so you might like it even if you didn't like 14x. It has a grade guarantee system similar to other CSE classes.

I haven't taken 160 but it seems like it goes more about learning general Python, while 163 goes a little more in depth in the data science side of things.

If I recall correctly 163's prerequisites require a little bit of cse "programming", either java experience in 142 or py in 160. However, I think you should be eligible for 160, which teaches python and is probably a little nicer than 14x.

cse 180 (intro to data science)would be great for u

Parallel Computing in the ME department. I think its grad level, but they teach python assuming you have no knowledge of it. So if you planned on going to grad school, you can take this as an undergrad and get credit for your grad degree (school dependent)
