Intermediate Scientific Python

This lesson assumes some programming background, but not necessarily with Python. It moves at a faster pace than a novice lesson, however.

We will learn how to do the following:

1. Reading and manipulating tabular data
2. Visualization and plotting
3. Modularization and documentation
4. Defensive programming
5. Writing command line scripts with Python

This lesson is based heavily on the Software Carpentry python-intermediate-mosquitoes lesson, and uses its datasets. It also includes some mixed-in components from the python-novice-inflammation lesson.
