Computational archaeology, digital humanities, data literacy, data science - the digital turn has long since arrived in the study of antiquity. It has opened up new possibilities for the study of Akkadian, Egyptian, Ancient Greek, Latin and other ancient written languages, as well as archaeological artefacts. Therefore, it is helpful to learn programming in addition to ancient scripts, grammar, image processing, or other archaeological sources. In this course you will learn the widely used programming language Python. In addition to basic programming skills, you will learn how to ingest data, sort and filter it, modify it, and save it back into formats for your desired analysis. No prior programming knowledge is required, this will be acquired during the course. You can bring your own laptop so that you can run the programming environment on your computer or use the computers of the PC pool. You will need an account/login with administrative rights on your laptop. Please confirm your intention to attend the course by email no later than the day of the first lecture, so that we can contact you and possibly adapt the course to your background and technical equipment. In addition to your own laptop, you can use the computers in the pool. The course language is English. Schließen
