Plotting a Gaussian normal curve with Python and Matplotlib

Date Sat 02 February 2019 Tags python / engineering / statistics / matplotlib / scipy

Area Under Normal Curve Plot

In the previous post, we calculated the area under the standard normal curve using Python and the erf() function from the math module in Python's Standard Library. In this post, we will construct a plot that illustrates the standard normal curve and the area we calculated. To build the Gaussian …

Quiver plots using Python, matplotlib and Jupyter notebooks

Date Wed 14 November 2018 Tags python / matplotlib / engineering / plotting / jupyter notebook

3 quiver plots A quiver plot is a type of 2D plot that shows vector lines as arrows. Quiver plots are useful in electrical engineering to visualize electrical potential and valuable in mechanical engineering to show stress gradients. In this post, we will build three quiver plots using Python, matplotlib, numpy, and Jupyter notebooks.
