EAA Web Session ‚Open-Source Tools Python: Extending the Toolbox of the Actuary‘

The goal of this two half-day training is to introduce the participants to the Python open- source ecosystem and to get a good understanding of the language. However, the ecosystem is way too vast to be covered in merely two half-days, the participants will be asked to go through the basics of the language themselves, prior to the web session. During the first half day of the web session, these basics which will be shortly revised, but at a higher pace. The course material, containing the basics of the language, will be provided by the organizers several weeks before the beginning of the web session, such that the participants will have plenty of time to go through the material at her/his ease.

As such, less time needs to be spent on the basic elements of the language, hereby enabling us to organize a hands-on exercise session to more easily assimilate the course material. Note that the participants need to bring along a laptop on which Python is installed. Instructions on how to do so, will be provided by the organizers at the same moment as the course material of Python basics, hence several weeks in advance.

As a result, a jump start on how to truly this language in practice will be provided to the participants, by focusing on solutions for problems that they will surely regularly encounter in their day-to-day job, by handing over lots of links to online resources and a very rich course material and by even organizing hands-on exercise sessions.
