Overview

The Python-Based Laboratory: A Hands-On Guide for Scientists and Engineers provides a learn-by-doing approach to acquiring the Python programming skills needed to implement computer-controlled experimental work. The book leads its listeners to mastery of the popular, open-source Python computer language in its role as a powerful laboratory tool by carrying out interesting and relevant projects that explore the acquisition, production, analysis, and presentation of digitized waveforms. The Python-Based Laboratory can be used as a textbook for science and engineering instructional laboratory students who are being taught up-to-date Python-based experimental skills. The book also works well as a self-study guide for professional laboratory researchers, industrial engineers, hobbyists, and electronics enthusiasts seeking to automate tasks using Python. As listeners work their way through the book, they build several computer-based instruments, including a DC voltmeter, digital oscilloscope, DC voltage source, waveform generator, blinking LED array, digital thermometer, and spectrum analyzer. Each chapter concludes with a Do-It-Yourself project and a Use It! example as well as a healthy selection of homework-style problems, allowing listeners to test their understanding and further develop their Python-based experimentation skills.

Author Information

John Essick is an emeritus professor at Reed College with research interests in the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Since 1993, he has taught computer-based experimentation skills as part of Reed College's junior-level advanced laboratory course and, along with his senior thesis students, used these skills to carry out many research projects. Essick is the editor of the Instructional Laboratories and Demonstrations section of the American Journal of Physics. Based in Virginia, PJ Freebourn (SAG-AFTRA) is a talented audiobook narrator with a passion for bringing stories to life. With a background in stage acting and classical singing, he brings a unique blend of artistry and technical expertise to a variety of genres, from heart-pounding thrillers to heartwarming romances. An award-winning stage actor, he is still active in regional theater across the country. Outside the recording booth, PJ enjoys a cozy life with his life partner and fellow audiobook narrator, Paige Reisenfeld. Together they serve as devoted caretakers to six cats (eight if you count the two neighborhood cats that have adopted them). When he's not recording, you might find PJ running long distances, tinkering with a programming projects, eating delicious food from around the world, discussing nuclear engineering, or playing insanely complex cooperative board games with his gorgeous partner.
