What are linked lists in data structures?
We look into a quick overview of the idea of linked list data structure with some examples.
Numerical optimization based on the l-bfgs method
We will inspect the L-BFGS optimization method using one example and compare its performance with the gradient descent method
Create beamer slides using python
We will use the Python package to create beamer presentation and append existing figures to each slide
A quick overview on geospatial data visualization using pygmt
We will see how to plot a topographic map, overlay earthquake data on topographic maps, plot focal mechanism solutions and plot tomographic results on a geog...
How to deal with irregularly sampled time series data
While analyzing time series data, we often come across data that is non-uniformly sampled, i.e., they have non-equidistant time-steps. Infact, most of the re...
The easiest way to publish a python package on pypi using poetry
We will learn how to use the poetry package to create, manage, build and publish Python package on PyPI
How to plot earthquakes data on a three-dimensional topographic map
Read the earthquake data from a data file and overlay on a three-dimensional topographic map using PyGMT.
Encrypt your data and software with python
Learn to encrypt and decrypt any files, data or software with python
Perform distributed computing easily using ray in python
We will introduce the concepts of distributed computing and then use the open-source Python library Ray to write scalable codes that can work on distributed ...
Using dask python library to read a huge global earthquake catalog file
We will see how we can read a large data file with earthquake catalog in Python using the Dask library
Convolution of waveforms using python compared to matlab
We will see compare the convolution functions in Python (Numpy) with the conv function in MATLAB. If you have tried them both then you would know that its no...
