Review
From the reviews of the second edition:“This book addresses primarily a CSE (computational science andengineering) audience. … gives a clear and detailed account on the waysin which the surprisingly powerful Python language may aid the CSEcommunity.” (H. Muthsam, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 151 (4), 2007)
Product Description
The goal of this book is to teach computational scientists how todevelop tailored, flexible, and human-efficient working environmentsbuilt from small programs (scripts) written in the easy-to-learn,high-level language Python. The focus is on examples and applicationsof relevance to computational scientists: gluing existing applicationsand tools, e.g. for automating simulation, data analysis, andvisualization; steering simulations and computational experiments;equipping old programs with graphical user interfaces; makingcomputational Web applications; and creating interactive interfaceswith a Maple/Matlab-like syntax to numerical applications in C/C++ orFortran. In short, scripting with Python makes you much moreproductive, increases the reliability of your scientific work and letsyou have more fun – on Unix, Windows and Macintosh. All the tools andexamples in this book are open source codes. The third edition iscompatible with the new NumPy implementation and features updatedinformation, correction of errors, and improved associated softwaretools.
