• depend on you showing up with questions and ideas

Why Python?

You should learn/use Python for scientific computing because Python

• is a powerful programming language
• features millions of modules for everything from FEM to computer algebra
• code can be as performant as C code
• is free
• is blessed by a large community
• is one of the most popular programming languages

That's why we

• have a weekly user meeting on Mondays at MA 464 at 5 PM
• set up a lecture series in the upcoming winter term 2014, including Python tools
• urge staff to install the newest releases at the desktop computers

Start right now by

• browsing through the introductory talk about Scientific Computing with Python
• checking the material on the tools seminar homepage
• dropping by at our user meeting this Monday
• browsing the extensive python documentation on the web
• asking questions on stackoverflow
• joining our mailing list
