Exercises
The exercise labs will take place in the computer pool of the Mathematics Computing Center, located in Room 738 of the building Reichenhainer Str. 39/41.
To carry out the programming tasks, everybody needs a valid login which can be picked up at Margit Matt's office (Rh 39/room 704).
All programming exercises can be carried out on our Jupyter Hub or on your own laptop.
The Jupyter Hub can be accessed from inside the university network or via VPN.
Problem sheets
The problem sheets and homeworks are available here.
Installation
If you want to install your own Jupyter environment, we suggest the following procedure:
Get the latest version of miniconda from this page and follow the steps in the installation dialogue.
Create a new environment via
conda create --name ds2023
Activate the ds2023 environment via
conda activate ds2023
or (depending on your system)
source activate ds2023
and install the required packages (this list is continually updated)
conda install -c conda-forge numpy scipy pandas matplotlib scikit-learn jupyter jupyterlab
