Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to develop and refine Python scripts for processing BibTeX data, including converting to JSON and CSV formats, sorting entries, and enhancing existing functions.

Key Activities

  • Volume Calculations: Reviewed methods for calculating the volume of cylinders, focusing on mathematical formulas and practical examples.
  • BibTeX to JSON/CSV Conversion: Developed a Python script to convert BibTeX files into JSON and CSV formats, including sorting entries by year and handling missing fields.
  • Function Enhancements: Planned improvements for the bibtex_to_json function, such as error handling and support for additional entry types.
  • DataFrame Manipulation: Provided code snippets and comments for common DataFrame operations in Pandas, including type conversion and data cleaning.

Achievements

  • Successfully created scripts for converting and sorting BibTeX data.
  • Planned enhancements for existing functions to improve error handling and flexibility.
  • Documented best practices for DataFrame manipulation in Python.

Pending Tasks

  • Implement the planned enhancements for the bibtex_to_json function.
  • Further explore the integration of these scripts into larger data processing workflows.
