ATMS 415 - Introduction to Python for Atmospheric Science (3 units)
An introduction to Python, a cross-platform programming language with a simple syntax and a powerful set of data analysis and visualization libraries, widely used to solve complex scientific problems. Students with little or no prior programming experience will learn basic programming algorithms, data types, control structures, graphics and how these can be applied to atmospheric and other environmental science problems.
Maximum units a student may earn: 3
Prerequisite(s): CS 135 or PHYS 181 or STAT 352 or PHYS 301 .
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring
