课程: Programming Foundations: Numerical Mathematics and Calculations

What you should know

- [Instructor] Before starting this course, let's explore what skills and knowledge you will need. In order to truly be successful in this course, it'll be helpful to have a basic understanding of algebra and geometry. Python programming knowledge will definitely help, though it's not strictly necessary. This course is focused on numerical mathematics and calculations and its applications in Python code. Our focus will be on the latest versions of Python 3 so make sure you have it installed on your machine. You will also want to make sure that you have Anaconda installed. To write your Python programs, you need some type of editor to write a code in and to execute that code. If you're already a Python developer, then you're probably using Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, or Sublime. In this course, we are going to write Python code through the Jupyter Notebook, which comes with the Anaconda the package. So if you have never worked with Jupyter Notebooks before, then you can go check out the Jupyter Notebook's basics video in my course, Foundations of NumPy. Remember, then you can pause the movie or rewind it if you need more time to understand the mathematical concept or write something down in your Notebook. And that's it. So let's get ready to start our journey into numerical mathematics and calculations.
