Day-by-day course files

Course materials

Each teaching day has the same four-part structure: lecture slides, a focused Python notebook, the data needed by that notebook, and the daily quiz. Files are released only after that day's package has been checked as a whole.

Current release: Day 1. Later lecture, notebook and data packages remain in review. Each quiz link opens the ID-based online assessment page and displays that day's scheduling status.
