Introduction to Python for Science and Engineering
Introduction to Python for Science and Engineering offers a quick and incisive introduction to the Python programming language for use in any science or engineering discipline. The approach is pedagogical and “bottom up,” which means starting with examples and extracting more general principles from that experience. No prior programming experience is assumed.Readers will learn the basics of Python syntax, data structures, input and output, conditionals and loops, user-defined functions, plotting, animation, and visualization. They will also learn how to use Python for numerical analysis, including curve fitting, random numbers, linear algebra, solutions to nonlinear equations, numerical integration, solutions to differential equations, and fast Fourier transforms.Readers learn how to interact and program with Python using JupyterLab and Spyder, two simple and widely used integrated development environments.All the major Python libraries for science and engineering are covered, including NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas. Other packages are also introduced, including Numba, which can render Python numerical calculations as fast as compiled computer languages such as C but without their complex overhead.

Elementary Mechanics Using Python
This book – specifically developed as a novel textbook on elementary classical mechanics – shows how analytical and numerical methods can be seamlessly integrated to solve physics problems. This approach allows students to solve more advanced and applied problems at an earlier stage and equips them to deal with real-world examples well beyond the typical special cases treated in standard textbooks.Another advantage of this approach is that students are brought closer to the way physics is actually discovered and applied, as they are introduced right from the start to a more exploratory way of understanding phenomena and of developing their physical concepts.While not a requirement, it is advantageous for the reader to have some prior knowledge of scientific programming with a scripting-type language. This edition of the book uses Python, and a chapter devoted to the basics of scientific programming with Python is included. A parallel edition using Matlab instead of Python is also available.Last but not least, each chapter is accompanied by an extensive set of course-tested exercises and solutions.

Python Programming on WIN32
Python is growing in popularity; based on download statistics, there are now over 450,000 people using Python, and more than 150,000 people using Python on Windows. Use of the language has been growing at about 40% per year since 1995, and there is every reason to believe that growth will continue. Despite Python's increasing popularity on Windows, Python Programming on Win32 is the first book to demonstrate how to use it as a serious Windows development and administration tool. Unlike scripting on Unix, Windows scripting involves integrating a number of components, such as COM or the various mail and database APIs, with the Win32 programming interface. While experienced Windows C++ programmers can find their way through the various objects, most people need some guidance, and this book is it. It addresses all the basic technologies for common integration tasks on Windows, explaining both the Windows issues and the Python code you need to glue things together.Topics include: * The Python language and the PythonWin extensions * Building a GUI with COM * Adding a Macro language * Distributing the application * Client-side COM for output and data access * Integration with mail and other internet protocols * Managing users and drives This is a vital and unique book. Python Programming on Win32 is an excellent presentation of Windows application development and a solid illustration of how to use Python in the Windows environment.
