PAB 102/103
Our observations of the universe at many redshifts have enabled us to build and test our models for how the cosmos work. But where do these measurements come from? How do we turn them into information about the universe? I’ll give a brief overview of how a few modern astronomical instruments work, how their science goals influenced their design, and the R&D goals that would enable ever more powerful observatories.
This seminar introduces useful tools and concepts that are becoming the standard in software development and coding practices. In particular, I will go through some standards in creating robust and re-usable software and the tools that are out there to help you out with it. The seminar will cover integrated testing, packaging, documentation and do's and don’ts in coding habits.
More python and jupyter notebook basics.
Interactive session on getting your computer set up to start working, plus some Unix and python basics.
