DESCRIPTION:Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language. Becau
 se of its powerful and flexible syntax\, Python excels as a platform for s
 cientific computing. Versatility\, simplicity of use\, high portability an
 d the large number of open source modules and packages make it very popula
 r for scientific use.\n\nAlthough pure Python is generally slower compared
  to traditional language (C or Fortran)\, there are various techniques and
  libraries that allow you to obtain performance absolutely comparable to t
 hose of the most common compiled languages\, assuring a good balance betwe
 en computational performance and time investment.\n\nAfter a short introdu
 ction to the basic syntax\, the course will focus on the main aspects of u
 sing Python as a language for computational science. The most important sc
 ientific modules for Python will be covered and an introduction of mixed l
 anguage programming will be provided.\n\nTopics: \n\nKey features of Pyth
 on Language. Introduction to Python syntax. Introduction to scientific too
 ls for Python.\n\nTarget audience: \n\nResearchers and programmers intere
 sted in scientific programming with Python.\n\nPre-requisites: \n\n \nKn
 owledge of the basic fundamentals of scientific programming (for instance 
 C/C++\, Fortran).\n\nGrant\nThe lunch for the three days will be offered t
 o all the participants and some grants are available. The only requirement
  to be eligible is to be not funded by your institution to attend the cour
 se and to work or live in an institute outside the Roma area. The grant  
 will be 300 euros for students working and living outside Italy and 150 e
 uros for students working and living in Italy. Some documentation will be 
 required and the grant will be paid only after a certified presence of min
 imum 80% of the lectures.\n\nFurther information about how to request the 
 grant\, will be provided at the confirmation of the course: about 3 weeks 
 before the starting date.\n\n \n\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/515/
