Note that the Jupyter Notebook included in this repository (PHYS_121_Functions_demonstration.ipynb) makes use of a module called 'data_entry' (accessed via PHYS121.py) which was written by Dr. Carl Michal from UBC. The original source code for the module (data_entry.py) can be found here: https://phas.ubc.ca/~michal/data_entry.py.

Python functions written for use in the PHYS 121 lab at UBC Okanagan.

To use the functions described below, place the PHYS121.py file in the same directory as your main Python code. Then import PHYS121 using:

import PHYS121

The following functions are currently aavailable:

Generate scatter plots
Weighted and unweighted linear fits
Weighted and unweighted power law fits
Weighted and unweighted $RC$-charging fits
Weighted and unweighted fits for the Eddy-current braking lab
Plot a histogram and generate basic statistics
Overlay multiple histograms
Overlap multiple histograms
Generate multiple scatter plots on a single graph
Import and display an image with a figure caption
Data entry using a spreadsheet-like environment
Import data obtained from a Tracker video analysis
Play a YouTube video within a Jupyter notebook

Example implementations of the various fuunctions are shown in the Jupyter notebook file 'PHYS_121_Functions_demonstration.ipynb' provided in this repository.
