This course aims to fill the gap between introductory and advanced courses in Python. Also, it has been designed in collaboration with the experienced faculty of Harvard University.

Participants of this course will be able to use their Python skills for their research work. Participants will first go through the basic concepts of Python 3 and then they shall learn about the tools and techniques such as NumPy and Scipy, which are used in research settings. The course also includes a new module about statistical learning using the sci-kit-learn library. This Using Python for Research training course is a blend of guided introduction and independent in-depth exploration. Participants will be trained in various Python skills using various case studies selected for their scientific breadth and their inclusion of different features of Python.

There are 2 modes of study - Audit and Verified Track that can be selected by the candidates to complete their studies.
