[Numpy-discussion] NumPy lesson at EuroScipy2016?

[m***@telenczuk.pl]

Hi all,

Recently I taught "Advanced NumPy" lesson at a Software Carpentry workshop [1]. It covered a review of basic operations on numpy arrays and also more advanced topics: indexing, broadcasting, dtypes and memory layout. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the lesson materials, which are available on github pages [2].

I am also thinking of proposing this lesson as a EuroScipy 2016 tutorial. Is anyone already planning to teach NumPy there? If so, would you be interested to team up for this lesson (as a co-instructor, helper or mentor)?

I gratefully acknowledge inspiration, some examples and exercises from the following materials:

- NumPy chapters of "SciPy lectures" by Emmanuelle Gouillart, Didrik Pinte, Gaël Varoquaux, and Pauli Virtanen [3]
- "Advanced NumPy patterns" by Juan Nunez-Iglesias [4]
- "The NumPy array. A structure for efficient numerical computation." by Stefan van der Walt [5]

Yours,

Bartosz

There's always a Numpy tutorial at EuroScipy. Emmanuelle (Cc'd) is the
tutorial chair, she can tell you the plan and I'm sure she appreciates your
offer of help.

Cheers,

Dear Bartocz,

thank you very much for proposing a tutorial on advanced NumPy for
Euroscipy 2016! I think it's an awesome idea! Before the call for
proposals, I did a survey about the subjects that people were interested
in for the advanced tutorials, and advanced NumPy scored very high (see
the poll on
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1H0vDPNgRVyESM1LYHSXXmunTgorNvVmu_psS56u9MOk/viewanalytics
and my blog post on the results on
http://emmanuelle.github.io/euroscipy-tutorials-results-from-the-opinion-poll.html).

Therefore, I would be very grateful if you were willing to submit a
proposal for a tutorial on advanced NumPy, in the advanced track. For the
beginners track, there is already a tutorial on NumPy, which will be
given by Gert Ingold (a contributor to the Scipy Lecture Notes). He's
planning to cover the intro chapter of the scipy lecture notes about
NumPy http://www.scipy-lectures.org/intro/numpy/index.html

Since you mentioned the Scipy Lecture Notes in your e-mail, if you think
that you would be interested in updating/improving the part on advanced
NumPy of the lecture notes, that'd be really awesome!

All the best,
Emma
