  • How to structure code in Python
  • How to import packages and how to use them

This course requires a laptop with Python and Anaconda installed; all are open source programs. We are happy to help with the installation upon request.

Mattia Biancaterra

I believe that Python is a very versatile programming language for data analysis. I have been using Python at many occasions, be it academic or not, in particular at the DOV summer school, for my Bachelor thesis and for my personal research into trading strategies.
