Python In Education: 2D Plots

Python is a great way to make very high quality 2D plots/graphs that you can easily export into your other documents. In this video I show how to use Python/Matplotlib in the context of your classes to make plots of your data and mathematical functions that arise in science or math courses.

This is part of a video series on how to use Python in an educational environment. Python is an easy to use, but also very powerful, tool that allows you to do many things across the curriculum. And, it is free! Please see all of the other videos in this series as well.

All of the Python scripts in this series are available at New Planet School's Google Drive, which is located at:

Enjoy the videos and using/modifying the starter scripts I have provided.

Thanks for the tutorial on Python plots. It's really helpful. Just wonder if there is a way to put Greek alphabets (α, γ, δ, ...) on the Legend ?
