3. Will I still find this course helpful if I primarily use Python instead of MATLAB?

MATLAB is the official course tool—but the numerical methods themselves are language-agnostic.
You can translate methods like root finding or interpolation into Python using libraries like NumPy or SciPy.
External resources like Berkeley’s Python for Engineering Numerical Methods show how to translate MATLAB algorithms into Python.
Grasping the concepts via this course can make transitioning to Python smoother with sufficient practice.
Supplement with Python-based tutorials and libraries to bridge implementation gaps if needed.
