This open access book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, making it suitable for students and researchers with little or no prior experience in programming. The book uses relevant examples from mathematics and the natural sciences to present programming as a practical toolbox that can quickly enable readers to write their own programs for data processing and mathematical modeling. These tools include file reading, plotting, simple text analysis, and using NumPy for numerical computations, which are fundamental building blocks of all programs in data science and computational science. At the same time, readers are introduced to the fundamental concepts of programming, including variables, functions, loops, classes, and object-oriented programming. Accordingly, the book provides a sound basis for further computer science and programming studies.

Bethany Poulin https://www.pyohio.org/2019/presentations/139 ## What is Linear Programming Linear programming is an optimization method with broad utility. Sadly the study of linear programming is often overlooked in favor of sexier machine learning algorithms by both practitioners and data science educators (both bootcamps and graduate programs). However, it is used extensively in many of the fields from which data science evolved and there are useful libraries in most of the major analytical languages. We will spend 5-10 minutes understanding linear programming in general before moving on to code ## Linear Programming in Python In Python, the most common library is Pulp which we will use to look at two separate optimization problems, one to minimize and one to maximize a desired outcome variable. We will go through: System requirements Package Installation Computational Complexity (floating values & discrete number calculations) ## Real World Examples with Code We will be setting up and completing the two problems. In doing so we will learn how to simplify a complex system into a series of linear equations. We will learn about: * Decision Variables - the outcomes we choose to optimize * Objective Function - the series of relationships between decision variables which affect the optimization * Constraints - the limits on our decision variables which allocate resources * How to visualize the problem (it could be a graph or simple illustration) * How to set up the equations defining the problem * How to solve the series of equations * How to interpret the results * How to know when you can, should or should not use linear programming to solve a problem The presentation will be assume a base understanding of python algebra and linear equations (y=mx+b) but it is not going to be presented in a mathematically demanding way. We will look at real-world resource allocation problems and use simple python code to solve them. ### Resources There will be a fully fleshed out GITHUB repository with: * The slides * The code * Brief instructional README.md with links to other useful online sources Linear programming is a useful computational technique for finding minima or maxima of a complex system by breaking it into a series of linear equations which describe the systems. It has many practical applications in industry, medicine, agriculture and in retail environments. Together we will explore simple linear programming problems using Python and the module Pulp. === https://pyohio.org A FREE annual conference for anyone interested in Python in and around Ohio, the entire Midwest, maybe even the whole world.

Python An Introduction To Programming Chapter 6 Classes

Python An Introduction To Programming( Chapter 7 Introduction To Graphics Programming)

Computing has revolutionized the biological sciences over the past several decades, such that virtually all contemporary research in the biosciences utilizes computer programs. The computational advances have come on many fronts, spurred by fundamental developments in hardware, software, and algorithms. These advances have influenced, and even engendered, a phenomenal array of bioscience fields, including molecular evolution and bioinformatics; genome-, proteome-, transcriptome- and metabolome-wide experimental studies; structural genomics; and atomistic simulations of cellular-scale molecular assemblies as large as ribosomes and intact viruses. In short, much of post-genomic biology is increasingly becoming a form of computational biology. The ability to design and write computer programs is among the most indispensable skills that a modern researcher can cultivate. Python has become a popular programming language in the biosciences, largely because (i) its straightforward semantics and clean syntax make it a readily accessible first language; (ii) it is expressive and well-suited to object-oriented programming, as well as other modern paradigms; and (iii) the many available libraries and third-party toolkits extend the functionality of the core language into virtually every biological domain (sequence and structure analyses, phylogenomics, workflow management systems, etc.). This primer offers a basic introduction to coding, via Python, and it includes concrete examples and exercises to illustrate the language's usage and capabilities; the main text culminates with a final project in structural bioinformatics. A suite of Supplemental Chapters is also provided. Starting with basic concepts, such as that of a 'variable', the Chapters methodically advance the reader to the point of writing a graphical user interface to compute the Hamming distance between two DNA sequences.
