I'm doing an informal survey on the use of Array Programming Languages for teaching. If you're using NumPy in this manner I'd like to hear from you. What subject was/is taught, academic level, results, lessons learned, etc.
I'm using NumPy in a PhD level microeconomics course. The students are using numpy primarily for the matrix class. In the past I have used GAUSS. Programming is a fairly small component of the course. Although most of the students have no programming background, they are finding Python and NumPy surprisingly easy to use.

Thanks Alan. May I ask the institution where you're teaching? # Steve
