Hi there! I was directed here as I heard the python community is very helpful from some friends. I hope this is the right place to post, and not on the general python page.
Basically at uni, I study physics. My year was the first year to change from MatLab in over a decade. We were told to learn python. We were given very little instruction, told "just Google it", and when asking for help it took OVER AN HOUR with your hand in the air to get a demonstrator to help in the computer labs. As a result, hardly anyone actually understands python or how to use it. I couldn't even do half of a python assignment, and had to settle for a grade D in that submission. I've looked into joining a course over summer, but for 5 days it was £2500! What is a better alternative to learn python? I really need to know it as all my physics labs require graphing, calculations etc to be done in python. Thank you for any advice!
