This psuedo-course website is a library of course content organized to parallel the actual ENGR-1330 course and is intdented as a suppliment to that course; this site is currently not running within a Learning Manegement System (LMS), although the host server has one installed. The lesson collection is a place where I put prototype lessons for eventual migration to the actual course. Each lesson (below) may contain worked python/ipython solutions to specific, narrow-scope, problems. The notebook collection contains worked python/ipython solutions to specific, narrow-scope, problems. The intent is that one can construct meaningful programs by scaffolding the needed examples here, binding them, and running their own unique problems.

This section is a collection of notebooks, categorized by topic.
The directories are organized into single topics. Within each directory there will be an HTML file, which is the notebook run once through a rendering program to make a static content file -- i.e. what the notebook should look like without errors (syntax errors are suppressed). The notebook itself is the filename.ipynb file. There is a .tar file which can be downloaded, extracted, and run on your own instance of JupyterLab on your own machine.The link will take you to the directory where the notebook is housed, somethng like the image below.
If you simply want to look at the notebook, rendered as a web page, select the .html file. Otherwise select and download the .ipynb file. If there are other files, they are usually needed too. In complete examples with multiple files required there will be a .zip file which will contain all the depnedencies, download that file, extract and you can run the notebook.
