Programming for Computations (Python version)

This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving
mathematical problems. There are two versions of the book, one for
MATLAB and one for Python. The book was inspired by the Springer book
TCSE6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen),
but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the
needs of engineering students. The book outlines the shortest possible
path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills
that allows the students to write simple programs for solving common
mathematical problems with numerical methods in engineering and
science courses. The emphasis is on generic algorithms, clean design
of programs, use of functions, and automatic tests for verification.
