General outline¶
Within this course, we will talk about and work through the core aspects of using python for a scientific project, i.e. data acquisition and data analyzes.
In order to provide a solid basis for the practical work on these topics, they will be preceded by an in-depth introduction that will introduce and outline central characteristics and functions of the python programming language.
These three defining parts will also be used as cornerstones of the course outline and will entail respective more-detailed subsections.
When and where do we meet?¶
As mentioned in the overview and procedure sections, the course will take place weekly: every Thursday from 4:15 - 5:45 PM CET at PEG 1 G 150, Theodor-W.-Adorno-Platz 6, 60323, Frankfurt am Main.

Schedule¶
Please see below for our current optimistic schedule. Depending on our progress, potential problems and different forms of learning, content and times might change a bit. Each lecture will be divided into several parts separated by a 5-10 minute break and might constitute a transition from basic to advanced concepts, theoretic to practical sessions and individual to group work. The different parts are roughly indicated in the schedule below like this:
🗓 - important information on date & time
💡 - input from the instructor
👨🏻🏫 - instructor presents content
🥼 - research project work
🧑🏽💻🧑🏾💻 - work on demo data
🧑🏿🔬👩🏻🔬 - work on own research project
🖥️ - computational work outside course hours
✍🏽 - writing outside course hours
📖 - reading outside course hours
Please note that there will be “winter holidays” from December 18th, 2021 - January 13th, 2022 and no classes will take place within this time period.
