Instructions for mathematics#

Note

The toolbox does not contain the exercises for 01001, but rather a lot of small programs for making graphics and perform mathematical tasks.

DTUs mathematics course, 01001: Mathematics 1, use python for both examples and projects. Specifically, DTU mathematics have prepared a python toolbox called dtumathtools.

The toolbox will be automatically installed when you follow the installation instructions for 02002/02003. If you completed these instructions and did not get an error you should be all set!

How to verify the installation of dtumathtools#

You can always check your installation by typing import dtumathtools in a python terminal. If you don’t get an error, everything should be set up correctly!

  • Try to import dtumathtools by typing:

  • If you don’t get an error, the toolbox is installed correctly

Warning

For running notebooks in 01001: Mathematics 1 through VSCode, you will also need the python extension in VSCode. See Step 3: Install the Python extension for VS Code for instructions on how to install this extension.
