DESCRIPTION:This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with 
 live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open source Pyt
 hon programming language.\n\nNew Format with Pre-Recorded Videos:  The cou
 rse format has been updated to release pre-recorded video lectures that st
 udents can watch on their own schedule\, and an unlimited number of times\
 , prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The vid
 eos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two month
 s after the conclusion of the course.\n\nOverview: Dan provides simple\, s
 traight-forward navigation through the multiple configurations and options
 \, providing a best-practices approach for quickly getting up to speed usi
 ng Python for modelling and analysis for applications in signal processing
  and digital design verification. Students will be using the Anaconda dist
 ribution\, which combines Python with the most popular data science applic
 ations\, and Jupyter Notebooks for a rich\, interactive experience.\n\nThe
  course begins with basic Python data structures and constructs\, includin
 g key "Pythonic" concepts\, followed by an overview and use of popular pac
 kages for scientific computing enabling rapid prototyping for system desig
 n.\n\nDuring the course students will create example designs including a s
 igma delta converter and direct digital synthesizer both in floating point
  and fixed point. This will include considerations for cycle and bit accur
 ate models useful for digital design verification (FPGA/ASIC)\, while brin
 ging forward the signal processing tools for frequency and time domain ana
 lysis.\n\nPre-recorded lectures (3 hours each) will be distributed Friday 
 prior to all Workshop dates. Workshop/ Q&A Sessions are 7pm-8pm February 4
 \, 11\, 18 and 25\, 2021.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dan Boschen \, \n\nVirtual: https
