A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python
Hans Petter Langtangen provides a practical entry point into the world of computational science by teaching computer programming through the lens of scientific discovery. This book moves away from abstract syntax and instead uses real world examples from physics, biology, and finance to demonstrate how code solves complex problems. By using Python as a primary tool, the text helps readers transit…
