DESCRIPTION:***Registration Closed***MyInvolvement pages are for in-person 
 attendees only. To register for the online session\, please use the Micros
 oft Forms link:Participants that are not part of the McGill Community are 
 also invited to register with the Microsoft Forms link.In this 2-hour work
 shop\, students will learn basic data processing skills using Python. Atte
 ndees will learn how to import code from other modules and packages to tak
 e advantage of the existing Python ecosystem. After seeing how to access p
 ackages\, we will explore popular data analysis packages. We will see how 
 to use NumPy to perform operations on large data arrays and how to use Mat
 plotlib to generate clear data visualisations. Finally\, we will discuss h
 ow to approach a new\, unfamiliar package and learn how to use it.By the e
 nd of this workshop\, participants will be able to:Import code from existi
 ng modules and packages.Use NumPy to easily process multidimensional data.
 Use Matplotlib to generate different types of plots to visualise data.Appr
 oach a new package and explore its documentation and examples.Pre-requisit
 es:Basic knowledge of Python is required. Attendees should be comfortable 
 with control flow\, basic data types and calling functions. To fully parti
 cipate in the exercises in this workshop\, attendees should have a working
  Python installation and either Jupyter Lab or another IDE that can open J
 upyter notebooks\, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Alternatively\, e
 xamples can be run in Google Colab online (requires a Google account). A l
 ist of packages and installation instructions will be circulated before th
 e workshop to ensure that all attendees have the necessary dependencies.**
 IMPORTANT NOTICE: Attendance for McGill graduate students and postdoctoral
  fellows is subsidized by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. All other att
 endees such as undergraduate students\, interns and/or graduate students f
