Learn how to implement Python in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Python for Scientists and Engineers

In this module, we'll learn about the Python programming language in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. We'll learn how to plot airfoil coordinates and graph thrust available, thrust required, and dynamic pressure. Moreover, we’ll get a firm overview of orbital parameters and how to model both 2D and 3D static orbits. By the end of this module, we'll have a good knowledge of how Python works in the fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Oops! There is an error in the `density()` function: it was returning density, but the program was expecting pressure. Here is a corrected `density()` function that uses the ideal gas law to convert density to pressure:
