Computing tools — MATLAB and Python
A cross-cutting module for university students: plotting, handling experimental data, numerical solutions. It is not a programming course — it is learning the tools a lab exam or a thesis actually needs.

It is there to work out where to actually start. If I do not think I can help, I will say so.
