Python classes

The Python exercises will be carried on using its powerful ecosystem of scientific computing libraries, including:

  • NumPy: For numerical computations and array operations.
  • SciPy: For scientific computations, including ODE solvers.
  • PyTorch: For machine learning.
Using JupyterLab for Programming

Throughout this course, we will use JupyterLab as a programming tool. JupyterLab provides an interactive environment for writing and running Python code. We highly recommend installing it in your Python environment. Please, follow the installation instructions of the official JupyterLab website.
