Online Workshop: Python for A-Level Mathematics and Beyond -Summer 2024

This is a hands‐on workshop and will introduce delegates to the freely available, open‐source and general‐purpose programming language Python ‐ which is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Python will be used to enhance the teaching and learning of Mathematics at A‐Level and beyond. Delegates need no prior knowledge of programming to benefit from this workshop. Feedback from 2022/23 Workshops “Really enjoyed the session. Definitely inspired me to get into doing some Python programming (never used it before although used other languages) and applying this to mathematics problems” “A thoroughly informative and enjoyable course!” “Really good workshop; would love a follow-up workshop to increase the level of challenge.” “Stephen was very clear and knowledgeable” “Looking forward to the TensorFlow workshop in June.” “Thank you very much to Stephen and IMA for organising”
