## Updates - https://pythonnumericalmethods.studentorg.berkeley.edu/notebooks/Index.html - Numerical Methods for Engineers Steven C Chapra --- ## Topics and questions - Decide on textbook --- ## Discussion --- ## Actions - Send Ciprian PDF of Numerical methods PDF - Ciprian to look at textbook in more detail and make a decision by next time. - Christian to send PDF of the second book by Steven Chapra Module 4: Data Analysis and Processing - 4.1. Introduction to Data Analysis (describe the Panda Toolbox)  -> One Lecture - 4.2. We should focus on effective ways of looking at data  (philosophy of making that make sense) -> One Lecture - 4.3. I/Ofile handling (different types of data files: ASCII, CSV, TXT, JPEG,...) -> Here they will learn how to read/handle: datasets including images. -> One Lecture - 4.4. Statistical Anasis (mean/averaging, standard deviation, variance...) -> **_Reminder: Ciprian to send application from Spectroscopy and CFD -> One Lecture_** - 4.5. Data Cleaning (linear regression, least square fitting, extrapolation, moving average) -> One Lecture - 4.6. Data Filtering & Signal Processing (filters: Gaussian Filter, Sobel edge detection, Kalman, Butterworth, FFT) -> We need to give a lecture of what is/how it works Digital filter design (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, filter response curves, how does one select a given filter). One lecture all theory so that in the second lecture they learn how to select different filters. -> Two lectures - 4.7 Image processing: apply some of the filtering to make images sharper/crispier, teach them how to make videos/gifs out of images. -> One Lecture. Possible application: **_from CFD density data obtain Synthetic Schlieren images (Ciprian will send you this!)_** ![[20251013_103651.jpg]]
