Explore Python’s Core Libraries and Tools for Scientific Computing

Python is a nice programming language for scientific programming. Many high-quality libraries are available as building blocks in a wide variety of scientific domains. In this training we will concentrate on the core libraries, and give some examples of domain-specific libraries.

Subject and Python modules that will be covered:

• multi-dimensional arrays and algorithms on these data structures: numpy
• methods & algorithms useful for scientific programming, e.g., linear algebra, Fourier transforms, statistics, optimization, root finding, signal processing: scipy
• symbolic computing: sympy
• creating many types of plots: matplotlib
• portable file formats for scientific data: e.g., HDF5
• image processing: scikit-image
