Python for Scientists

Reviews / Votes

Review of first edition: '... the practitioner who wants to learn Python will love it. This is the type of book I have been looking for to learn Python ... concise, yet practical.' Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society (euro-math-soc.eu) '... I still think the conciseness of the book is a major asset. It provides just enough to get you started with the language if you are already familiar with some computer programming or with a system like Maple or Mathematica.' Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society (euro-math-soc.eu) 'I highly recommend this book as a practical guide to real-life scientific programming. The book is well written, interspersed with great humor, and is presented from the viewpoint of a researcher who wants others to avoid suffering the same pitfalls and mistakes that he experienced.' Andreas Rueger, The Leading Edge 'This book is a rich resource for scientists who are familiar with programming and want to go beyond classical commercial scientific programming packages such as Mathematica and Maple ... if you want to expand your research toolbox and computational flexibility, this book is a fantastic find ... I highly recommend this book as a practical guide to real-life scientific programming. The book is well written, interspersed with great humor, and is presented from the viewpoint of a researcher who wants others to avoid suffering the same pitfalls and mistakes that he experienced.'
