Notes on Scientific Computing for Biomechanics and Motor Control
Marcos Duarte
This repository is a collection of lecture notes and code on scientific computing and data analysis for Biomechanics and Motor Control. The lectures are written using the Jupyter Notebook, part of the Python ecosystem for scientific computing. You can view these lectures in different ways: simply read on line by clicking on the links below; or download a single notebook or all the stuff or yet fork this entire repository using the GitHub resources and run the notebooks in your computer or in the cloud.
I hope this material is useful to you and I am open to suggestions or comments.
