-Descripcion Original:

A fully updated tutorial on the basics of the Python programming language for science studentsPython is a computer programming language that has gained popularity throughout the sciences. This fully updated second edition of A Students Guide to Python for Physical Modeling aims to help you, the student, teach yourself enough of the Python programming language to get started with physical modeling. You will learn how to install an open-source Python programming environment and use it to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; and simulation. No prior programming experience is assumed.This guide introduces a wide range of useful tools, including: Basic Python programming and scripting Numerical arrays Two- and three-dimensional graphics Animation Monte Carlo simulations Numerical methods, including solving ordinary differential equations Image processing Numerous code samples and exercises with solutions illustrate new ideas as they are introduced. This guide also includes supplemental online resources: code samples, data sets, tutorials, and more. This edition includes new material on symbolic calculations with SymPy, an introduction to Python libraries for data science and machine learning (pandas and sklearn), and a primer on Python classes and object-oriented programming. A new appendix also introduces command line tools and version control with Git. Review Praise for the previous editionAt a brief 160 pages, it is quite possible for a motivated student to complete it in just a few sittings. . . . A fine introduction. American Journal of Physics The text serves as an excellent stepping stone into the world of using Python in computational science for undergraduate students with a strong background in mathematics. Kevin Thielen and Vivienne Tien, Computing in Science & Engineering Kinder and Nelsons engaging introduction to scientific programming in Python is careful and thorough, and focuses on actual essentials. Bread-and-butter concepts and techniques, belonging in every computational scientists toolbox, are presented with well-thought-out examples drawn from daily research practice. This is a clever text, inviting students to take that most important step: to dive right in and start coding. Cornelis Storm, Eindhoven University of Technology Kinder and Nelson have written a friendly and succinct, yet surprisingly comprehensive, introduction to scientific programming in Python. Its written not just for computational scientists, but for anyone who needs to plot and analyze experimental data, numerically solve equations, or learn the basics of programming. Even students who have experience in programming will appreciate the thought-provoking exercises and guidelines for getting the most out of Python. Vinothan N. Manoharan, Harvard University This book is tailor-made for physical scientists beginning to do computation. More than in any other programming book Ive read, the authors are conscientious they anticipate and troubleshoot the areas of confusion readers might encounter. Kinder and Nelson carefully and effectively guide readers toward the goal of formulating a computational problem and solving it. Justin Bois, California Institute of Technology Like patient driving instructors, Kinder and Nelson guide the hands of novice programming students from the get-go, helping them to avoid obstacles and crashes. By the end of the book, students should be racing around confidently like pros, using Python to solve scientific problems of data analysis, modeling, and visualization. A great textbook for a first course in modern scientific programming in any context, and one that Ill be using myself. Garnet Kin-Lic Chan, Princeton University This book covers the basics of Python programming language, with an emphasis on physical modeling. It provides a very useful introduction to Python for
