Here's a long list:

• demo could have diagrams of model as it progresses in code (i.e. label what has been created while going along).
• super cool example notebooks
• you should model a segway balancing
• I liked that you developed things on the board
• Visualization and playing with params was a great way to give people with less background something to do.
• love it! nice break from mathematica
• very good figures
• maybe add more questions in-between "really easy" and "the nose one" in terms of difficulty
• seriously great tutorial, infformative, interesting, engaging, frequent exercise, were good even the "menial" ones
• Great examples for playing with the visualization library
• Really useful tutorial with great documentation thatnks
• Not sure I understand the math well but i have an intutive sense of each part and know how to use python well
• Python notebooks are not a great slide replacement
• Positive, good pacing
• Going well in speed
• like building problem up with illustrations on teh white board
• print out cheat sheet for forumals and model
• well explained demo
• frequent questions for audience (pos)
• Interesting, haven't used sympy before
• great documentation and use of the notebook
• the notebooks seem excellent
• as an applied mathematician the subject is interesting to me
• notebooks and diagrams are very well laid out n descriptive
• great drawings and explanations
• relevant and interesting example with very clear and well documented notebooks
• in notebook 3 center of mass exercise you should give variable names
• the example could probably be a simpler 2 body problem just want to get a handle on the module
• i'm a visual person sarting with the visualizzations would help
• intro (python) probably not needed given audience
• slightly long introduction segment
• well paced and information, thanks
• the pacing was uneven but you probably can't change that with such a diverse group
• update the check_env.py to also chekc version of scipy library
• not enough time for exerises
• a little more explanation of the syntax of the methods, lost me with throwing out func/methods w/o explanation
• didn't understand anything in last notebook
• i don't have the math background for this
• assuming knowledge of notebooks/canopy/anaconda impedes the learning process
• typo: graviy 1st senetence
• photo printout of example
• colorize constants
• please go faster through the exercises
• definitely need a decent background to fully appreciate the material. maybe recommend some reading ahead of time.
