Description
A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling is a comprehensive tutorial that introduces students to the basics of the Python programming language. This second edition has been fully updated to help you get started with physical modeling, covering essential topics such as data import and export, numerical analysis, simulation, and visualization. You'll learn how to install an open-source Python environment and use it for common scientific computing tasks, including animation and Monte Carlo simulations. The guide covers a range of useful tools, including basic programming, numerical arrays, two- and three-dimensional graphics, and image processing. With numerous code samples and exercises, you'll be able to put your new skills into practice. Supplemental online resources are also available, featuring additional code samples, data sets, tutorials, and more. This edition includes new material on symbolic calculations with SymPy, Python libraries for data science and machine learning, and a primer on Python classes and object-oriented programming.
