The first four contain a set of jupyter notebooks that are designed to be worked through individually. You are encouraged to pick and choose which sections you are interested in.
The other three contain notebooks to help you learn how to use python based McStas script and SCIPP along with an extra module with an example of Covid data anlysis.

2. Python basics:  Basic language principles,  Sequence data types,  Control structures,  Working with functions,  Using modules,  Input and output,  Python 2 vs 3,  Python classes.
3. Using external Libraries:  Scientific libraries numpy,  Plotting with matplotlib,  Ipywidgets,  Fitting scipy,  Data analysis library pandas,  Testing.
4. Molecular visualization:  Visualization tutorial,  Atomistic simulation environment.
5. McStas script

The notebooks can accessed and run via the Jupyter hub link. A new window will open, which will ask you to Start My Server.
You can then chose which environment you would like to use (Basic Jupyter with McStas or Jupyter with SCIPP). Note that both include all the notebooks.
To access the notebooks please navigate to python-course-ikon > notebooks.

This course was created by the Data Reduction, Analysis and Modelling Group of the ESS. This version of the course was specifically created for IKON20 in March 2021.
