This website presents a set of lectures on Python programming for economics and finance, designed and written by

[Thomas J. Sargent](http://www.tomsargent.com/) and [John Stachurski](http://johnstachurski.net/). This is the first text in the series, which focuses on programming in Python.

```{admonition} New Build System

[QuantEcon](https://quantecon.org) is moving to the [Jupyter Book](https://jupyterbook.org/intro.html)

build system for all of its projects. We are a founding member of the

[Executable Books Project](https://github.com/executablebooks), an international collaboration to

build open source tools that facilitate publishing using the Jupyter

ecosystem. Please send feedback to [contact@quantecon.org](mailto:contact@quantecon.org)

```{admonition} News

Tom Sargent, Chase Coleman, and Spencer Lyon have put together The [NYU Computational Social

Science: Certificate Program](http://www.tomsargent.com/nyu_css.html).

It uses many [quantecon](https://quantecon.org/lectures/index.html)

resources. The program aims to prepare students for either a graduate program in the social

sciences or for a career as a data analyst or computational social scientist.

[Applications and additional information are available here](https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/computational-social-science.html)
