could take it as a starter course in Python and NumPy. The examples just happen to
be drawn from earlier physics classes.”

- Additionally, there are various training opportunities that are offered on a shorter
time scale through ARCC:
- Finally, other ideas can be found on the SoC suggested courses Many courses are cross-listed grad/undergrad courses across departments.
