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.

`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.
