In this course, you will learn about the Python programming language in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. 

You will start with the basics of Python, like variables, collections, and different types of loops. Once you have the basics out of the way, the real fun begins. You will learn how to: graph thrust available and thrust required, graph dynamic pressure during a rocket launch, and how to plot airfoil coordinates. 

Towards the end, you will get a strong overview of orbital parameters and learn how to model both 2D and 3D static orbits. Once you’ve completed this course, you will have a better understanding of Python and how it works in the context of mechanical/aerospace engineering.

Python for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

`Pweave` is the final tool in the toolbox to be able to broadcast and publish your Python programs to a wider audience that wants to see the results, not necessarily the program. `Pweave` provides the flexibility to show or hide as much code as wanted while still displaying the results. The Markdown formatting does not detract from the Python code, and the program itself will still run even with the commented Markdown formatting in place. `Pweave` is designed to work with `Numpy`, `Scipy`, `Matplotlib`, and default print and display behavior, but it should be able to handle just about anything else thrown at it.
