This tutorial is made for scientists who want to learn Python and eventually step from Matlab.

Python is a general programming language with many scientific libraries. It is optimized to be easy to develop in. The same is not true for Matlab which is a domain-specific language.

1. Install Miniforge

2. Download this repository:

git clone https://github.com/pnavaro/python-notebooks.git
