Mathematical Python
Mathematical Python is an introduction to mathematical computing including:
- Jupyter notebooks, markdown and $\LaTeX$
- Basic Python programming: datatypes, logic, loops and functions
- Scientific computing with NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib
- Applications in calculus, linear algebra and differential equations
Notebooks
Mathematical Python is a collection of Jupyter notebooks and are available at:
If you have a UBC CWL:
Prerequisites
We assume the reader has completed undergraduate courses in:
