Lessons that take you through building something with unxt, one step at a time. Start here if you have not used unxt before: these pages assume no prior knowledge and every step is checked to work.
If you already know what you want to accomplish, the How-to guides will get you there faster.
Work through them in order.
Your first calculation with units — build a unit-aware projectile calculator, then compile, differentiate and vectorise it. Start here.
Land on Mars in your own units — build your own unit system, fly a descent simulation in it, and reproduce the unit mistake that destroyed the Mars Climate Orbiter.
Check a formula before you run it — catch errors in a formula, and derive a result, without computing anything.
Carry units through a whole analysis — carry units through a whole analysis: load a dataset with
xarray, compute a derived quantity, and plot it withmatplotlib.Write a function others can call — write a function other people call, that cannot be called wrong by accident.
Every unxts.* package has its own tutorial too, listed under Packages in the sidebar.
