DC Python Meetup

Workshop: Number Crunching in Python with NumPy

November 11, 2012 · 10:00 AM
GWU Campus

Join Matt Davis (bio) as he leads this much awaited workshop titled, "Number Crunching in Python with NumPy". Basic familiarity with Python is expected as Matt teaches us how to be effective data manipulators using the excellent NumPy library. In addition to NumPy, Matt will also cover related tools/libraries such as IPython, SciPy, matplotlib, and Pandas.

The Computer Science department at GWU has graciously agreed to make an instructional classroom available for this workshop. The room has limited capacity so please RSVP early to reserve your spot. If your plans change, please update your reply for the benefit of everyone on the waiting list.

DC Python and Data Science DC meetup groups have teamed up to make this workshop possible. It will be an all-volunteer run event and there is no sign-up fee but we strongly urge $10 cash donations at the door to cover the cost of pizza and drinks.

Matt did an outstanding job leading the attendees through an introduction to the IPython Notebook, NumPy, matplotlib, and a few aspects of SciPy and Pandas!

Great intro! IPython notebook is yet another reason to convert. A little disappointed we missed out on pandas, but still a very good workshop.

Thanks to the organizers.

Looking forward to the workshop. I'm driving up from Charlottesville. What's my best bet for parking?

  The most economical option is street parking which is free on Sundays but in short supply. Otherwise fall back to the two paid garages:
  "Academic Center Parking Garage (801 22nd Street, NW; entrance on I Street, NW, between 21st and 22nd Streets) and in the Marvin Center Parking Garage (800 21st Street, NW; entrance on H Street, NW, between 21st and 22nd Streets)."

  Essentially, Phillips Hall is part of a large complex that has its own garage.

  The meetup page shows a wait list with 5 people on it. I don't know how you get on it.

  I think if you RSVP "Yes", it'll put you on the waitlist.

  If you use the mobile meetup site, the option to join the waitlist is hidden.
