Short description:
Textbook that uses examples and Jupyter notebooks from across the sciences and engineering to teach Python programming.
Long description:
Python is one of the most popular programming languages, widely used for data analysis and modelling, and is fast becoming the leading choice for scientists and engineers. Unlike other textbooks introducing Python, typically organised by language syntax, this book uses many examples from across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth science, and Engineering to teach and motivate students in science and engineering. The text is organised by the tasks and workflows students undertake day-to-day, helping them see the connections between programming tools and their disciplines. The pace of study is carefully developed for complete beginners, and a spiral pedagogy is used so concepts are introduced across multiple chapters, allowing readers to engage with topics more than once. "Try This!" exercises and online Jupyter notebooks encourage students to test their new knowledge, and further develop their programming skills. Online solutions are available for instructors, alongside discipline-specific homework problems across the sciences and engineering.
'This book provides an excellent introduction to the Python language especially targeted at those interested in carrying out calculations in the physical sciences. I especially like the strong coverage of graphics and of good coding practice.' Raymond Pierrehumbert, University of Oxford
