Welcome to the best class you will ever take in your science and engineering career!

Let me ask you this – How much would you pay for

actually enjoying your Spring Break without worry because you got your homework done and submitted before the break starts?

going to bed earlier because your bug was an engineering units error that was super easy to find and fix in Python?

having your professor cite your homework as the solution because its both correct and well presented?

actually knowing what is going onin class because you know how to let software handle the heavy math so you can interpret the physical results?

I was a teaching assistant for 3rd year Nuclear Engineering students at North Carolina State University, and I helped my students transition from writing on engineering paper with hand calculators to using software for their homework assignments. Common errors – unit conversions, simple algebra mistakes, labeling your final answer for your grader – dropped significantly after they became proficient in using their chosen software tool. With better homework grades they felt they understood the concepts more, relieving them of stress, and making them feel better prepared for their paper exams. An unfortunate reality is that as you advance in your engineering coursework, you will absolutely need some type of software tool.

Whether you are studying Nuclear Engineering specifically, or are a science student choosing among many different Python courses, I want to help you overcome that sense of imposter syndrome and give you confidence in your work. My hope is that this course will make it easier for you to solve challenging homework problems in your engineering coursework, and give you the confidence to solve real-world problems that pop up in your engineering career.

How can learning Python make my life as a college student easier?

You have enough theory in your science and engineering courses. I’m here to teach you how to use Python how to solve problems in a straight-and-to-the-point practical sense.

Here is what I will teach you in this course that will make your student life immensely easier:

Make the best-looking homework submissions your graders will ever see with Jupyter Notebooks

Learn how to type fancy mathematical equations just like your professors using LaTeX

Never be afraid of Linear Algebra again by letting Python’s numpy package handle matrix operations

Use Python’s SymPy package to solve Calculus and Differential Equations problems for you

Breeze through analyzing laboratory datausing Python’s Pandas and Matplotlib packages to do statistical analyses and plotting of data from your lab classes – you will (almost) never need to touch Microsoft Excel again!

Say goodbye to unit conversion errorswith Python’s Pint package that automatically handles units and conversions for you

Develop confidence for your future by learning your rights as a worker, how much you can expect to make in your career, and exploring if remote work is right for you (or if you’d rather play with expensive science toys at a national laboratory)

My name is William Roysdon Murray – I’ve spent too many sleepless nights figuring out how to get my work done as a Nuclear Engineering student. I want to spare you the hassles I went through and return your nights back to you. It will be my pleasure to have you in my course!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
