 er for the online session\, please use the Microsoft Forms link:Participan
 ts that are not part of the McGill Community are also invited to register 
 with the Microsoft Forms link.In this 4-hour workshop\, students will lear
 n basic data processing skills using Python. Attendees will learn how to i
 mport code from other modules and packages to take advantage of the existi
 ng Python ecosystem. After seeing how to access packages\, we will explore
  popular data analysis packages. We will see how to use NumPy to perform o
 perations on large data arrays and how to use Matplotlib to generate clear
  data visualisations. Finally\, we will discuss how to approach a new\, un
 familiar package and learn how to use it. By the end of this workshop\, pa
 rticipants will be able to:Import code from existing modules and packages.
 Use NumPy to easily process multidimensional data.Use Matplotlib to genera
 te different types of plots to visualise data.Approach a new package and e
 xplore its documentation and examples.Pre-requisites:Basic knowledge of Py
 thon is required. Attendees should be comfortable with control flow\, basi
 c data types and calling functions. To fully participate in the exercises 
 in this workshop\, attendees should have a working Python installation and
  either Jupyter Lab or another IDE that can open Jupyter notebooks\, such 
 as Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Alternatively\, examples can be run in Go
 ogle Colab online (requires a Google account). A list of packages and inst
 allation instructions will be circulated before the workshop to ensure tha
 t all attendees have the necessary dependencies.**IMPORTANT NOTICE: Attend
