Setting Things Up

This book aims to be a standalone resource for the entire semester, providing supplementary materials for the lecture and acting as the main resource for the seminar. Each seminar session will start with a brief recap of the core concepts from the lecture and an introduction into the relevant Python tools. The second part will then let you apply the methods through hands-on exercises. These exercises can be used directly within the browser through Google Colab. However, the individual Jupyter Notebook files (.ipynb) can also be opened and run on your local computer.

As this will most definitely be useful for your future research, we will start with setting up a working Python environment on your own computer.
