This SAP aims to give an initial introduction to programming for undergraduate and postgraduate students with some knowledge of a programming language and is oriented to engineering applications.

To accomplish this goal, we will use the Python programming language (https://www.python.org/). The Python programming language is an object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. It is open source and available for all major platforms. Python is being used by a large and supportive community of users.

Since Python supports modules and packages, program modularity and code reuse are encouraged. Many Python modules and packages have been made available by contributors, expanding Python capabilities and applications.

Python is very popular also due to its versatility (it can be used for many different tasks in a great variety of applications) and to its easy to learn syntax (it has a simple syntax like the natural language).
