Programmation en Python pour les sciences de la vie

A clear and progressive book for learning Python programming applied to life sciences and biological data analysis.

Features
“Python Programming for the Life Sciences” offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to programming and algorithmic thinking with Python, with a strong focus on practical applications in the field of life sciences.

The book starts with the fundamentals of Python, then gradually introduces more advanced features essential for scientific data analysis. It covers the use of key libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, as well as the use of Jupyter notebooks for data computation and visualization.

The book also introduces object-oriented and graphical programming, always through examples drawn from biology: manipulation of nucleotide sequences, analysis of protein structures, and processing of experimental datasets, among others.

Numerous exercises of increasing difficulty allow readers to apply the concepts covered. Each exercise is accompanied by a detailed solution, and all source code from the book is available online to support both independent and guided learning.
