- mjburgess 5y agoI have to imagine python has revolutionised physics education at university. I taught myself C before arriving (and, eg., esp. via stanford's programming paradigms course) -- if I hadnt, I would be resigned with my classmates to C code projected on OHP slides. If I had my way today, the whole of any applied science would be taught with both mathematical and programming (python for convenience) notation.
- physicsguy 5y agoI used all of C + Python + NumPy a lot, just didn't know about this feature. Would have helped prototyping various bits and pieces at the Python level.
