Topic
The Python programming language is one of the most widely used programming languages, which is also due to the fact that the use of the language can be easily learned even by people without programming experience. This course introduces the fundamentals of programming through the Python language, including data types, loops, functions, objects, and more. During the exercises, we review the use of the most popular modules (e.g. Numpy, Pandas, Scipy) and demonstrate their practical application through medical and psychological examples. The aim of the course is for students to be able to solve problems with the help of programming primarily in the fields of data management, statistics, data presentation and experimental design.
