Scientific Python Programming
start
You know basic Python and have an interest in scientific coding.
goals
You'll know how to use Python for math and physics and you'll have tools that are similar to Matlab/Maple.
Background
Aimed at new Python programmers, we're assuming you know a tiny bit about programming and nothing about using Python
How to read and write simply Python programs and running them
You know the basics of programming Python
You'll know how to use wxPython, easyGui and PythonCard to build Graphical User Interfaces
Math in Python
First, Kirby introduces a series that shows you various interesting math tools in Python.
These videos take a math through programming approach, meaning we're using Python to develop a stronger grasp of mathematical concepts.
Second, Erik shows you all the steps in a very thorough series to build a molecular visualisation tool using wxPython and opengl.
This video series will document the development of a moderately complex program from start to finish. Everything from planning, creating class diagrams, going over the code, and creating a .deb file for Ubuntu/Debian distribution will be covered. K [...]
Scientific Packages
Erik's series on VPython introduces you to the world of visual physics simulation, interactively, with Python.
Interested in 3D programming, physics and Python? Erik Thomspon introduces 3D programming using the VPython toolkit covering a number of subjects including gravity, friction, and tension demonstrating falling balls, weights, wind and satellites.
Next unpingco shows you how to use the SAGE scientific computing environment and gives you a taster to the visual computing system VISION.
SAGE is an open-source project to integrate the best open-source scientific packages under an interactive environment. SAGE aims to provide an open-source alternative to commercial packages such as MATLAB and Mathematica. This tutorial series covers [...]
VISION is a freely available tool from the Scripps Research Institute written entirely in Python that makes it easy to build operations by drawing flowcharts instead of writing code.
