This course was excellent! I was new to Python so it was with some trepidation that I enrolled and started out. The modules went really well and I believe that I have gained an in-depth understanding of both the workings of the language and the power it provides for the very fast solutions to real-world scientific and engineering problems. Way to go, Instructors. Well done!

The course is quite practical and useful if you need to do data fitting with a custom function and/or with multiple variables. Plsu it helps you to go through all the basics required for that, including plotting/visualizing data. Carolyn is also a very good instructor. Easy to follow!
