Usain Bolt is considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time. In this article, we will see how to use Python to find the speed and acceleration the Jamaican reached in his races. We will also take the chance to discuss mathematical models and the care needed in choosing them and interpreting their results.
In this article we detail how to get visually elegant plots that correctly show units on their axes. We will combine the pint, numpy and matplotlib libraries.
Whenever we work with measurements and experimental data, we need to express our values with their respective units. In this article, we will see a Python library for working with units and what that has to do with beer.
In this article we will see how NASA has lost multimillion-dollar projects to simple unit conversion errors. We will also see which system of units took humans to the Moon in the Apollo Program, by looking at the source code of the onboard computer.
How can a plane run out of fuel at 12 km of altitude? Today’s article is about a Boeing that became a 100-ton-plus “glider” and how it all happened because of a simple unit conversion error.
In this article we will see how to use virtual environments to manage Python projects. We will see that it is possible to have a different Python version for each project, and also how packages and dependencies are controlled.
You have probably heard of data science or machine learning. And you may also have heard of, or worked with, the R or Python languages. Today’s article is about Anaconda, a distribution that aims to make it easier to install and manage tools for these two languages, especially for scientific applications.
