Dear students,
the exercise 2 on Numpy essentials is available. It is a bit longer than a regular exercises but we would like to encourage you to take the time to go through all the parts of the exercise as we will rely on the introduced programming concepts throughout the course. Generally speaking, Python/Numpy is becoming increasingly more popular in data science and many high-level libraries build on and/or use the same paradigms to manipulate data as the ones you will see in the exercise. Therefore, you will benefit from the acquired skills not only in this course. Tomorrow we will spend the first half of the lecture going over the Python and Numpy basics which you will then be able to play with during the exercise. See you all tomorrow!
