During this course, you will develop a computational prowess that will aid in your understanding of physical biology. These will be done using Jupyter notebooks through Google Colab, so you will need to sign into a Google Account to create new notebooks.

We will post links to Jupyter Notebooks hosted on Colab of the tutorial sessions here.

Tutorials

• Tutorial 0.0 – A Primer On Jupyter Notebooks and Google Colab| This tutorial explains what a Jupyter Notebook is and how to use it on Google Colab.

• Tutorial 0.1 – A Primer On Python Syntax| This tutorial gives a quick intro to programming in Python.

• Tutorial 1 – Forward Euler Integration Method| In this tutorial, we will cover how to write a simple numerical integrator using the Forward Euler method to examine the dynamics of exponential growth.

• Tutorial 2 – Binomial Partitioning| In this tutorial, we simulate coin flips and write a function to sample from the binomial distribution.

• Tutorial 3 – Stochastic Simulation of a Random Walker| In this tutorial, we simulate random walkers under different scenarios.
