In this directory you will find 2 data sets. Monday: start with data set 1 up to question 5). Tuesday: start with data set 2 up to question 4). If you have finished all that: finish the questions. In the README file of each set you will find more precise instructions. In any case at the end of the course 2 & 3 (or by the end of the week) you have to give me back a YourName.zip file with all your python scripts and the plots you did plus a file explaining each plot. The idea is that after these two courses you are able to get data, format them for your needs and visualize them. You have to work alone and give me back individual results. It's not a workgroup, but of course you can exchange ideas. The mark will be taken into account in the course of Active Galaxies. Easy to have a good one so don't miss this opportunity. Python recomendation: keep a script file (.scr.py) opened to paste all useful instructions that you test in an ipython session. Then you can test your script by calling it through standard python: > python myscript.scr.py Again ipython has 3 help system: >> help(Function-or-Object-or-Module-or-Anything) AND >> object-or-module. will plot the list of attributes and methods of the object or module AND >> object? >> object?? You should look in Curso1 and Help directories to find documentation and examples (especially for plotting commands in: Help/Pylab-examples/). Try to do a maximum with the 2 data sets !
