Programming for Computations - Python
Summary
Programming for Computations – Python by Svein Linge and Hans Petter Langtangen is an open-access textbook that provides a gentle introduction to Python programming through the solution of mathematical and scientific problems. It is designed for beginners, gradually introducing programming fundamentals such as variables, loops, branching, functions, and code structure before applying them to numerical computation.
The book covers numerical integration, nonlinear equations, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations, while emphasizing clean programming, generic algorithms, visualization, and systematic testing and verification of results. Overall, it aims to give students in mathematics, science, and engineering practical skills for using Python as a tool for mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, and problem solving.
