Discovering Python for Scientific Computing
by Sukhbinder Singh (speaking)
Objective
So, what happens when you put an aerospace engineer habituated with fortran with a system having python. Find out as I describe how I used Python as a vehicle of "discovery" in an epic journey from command line to scientific computing and visualisation using python.
Description
I'll walk you through my journey from Fortran to Python and focus on how to use python for scientific data analysis and visualisation along the way.
The talk will feature numpy, pandas , matplotlib and VTK.
I'll show you how to read in data, clean it up, visualise it using some interesting models as examples.
Requirements
A beginners knowledge of python and abundance of interest in using python for science.
A laptop having python and the above mentioned libraries installed will be desirable.
Speaker bio
I’m an Interdisciplinary scientific programmer and aerospace engineer working for Rolls-Royce account. For last 10 years I am using fortran, c and lately python to solve complex engineering problems ranging from gas turbine performance, centrifugal compressor design to uncertainty quantification in gas turbine blades.
I've also published quite a bit of open source code in fortran and python. Check out my blog for more info.

Is there any particular method you employ to sanitize the data?

There are lot of ways, but my current fav hammer is the Pandas library.. Does most of the work for me..
