Theaimofthisbookistoteachcomputerprogrammingusingexamples from
mathematics and the natural sciences. We have chosen to use the Python
programming language because it combines remarkable power with very
clean, simple, and compact syntax. Python is easy to learn and very
well suited for an introduction to computer programming. Python is
also quite similar to Matlab and a good language for doing
mathematical computing. It is easy to combine Python with compiled
languages, like Fortran, C, and C++, which are widely used languages
forscienti?ccomputations.AseamlessintegrationofPythonwithJava is
o?ered by a special version of Python called Jython. The examples in
this book integrate programming with appli- tions to mathematics,
physics, biology, and ?nance. The reader is - pected to have knowledge
of basic one-variable calculus as taught in mathematics-intensive
programs in high schools. It is certainly an - vantage to take a
university calculus course in parallel, preferably c- taining both
classical and numerical aspects of calculus. Although not strictly
required, a background in high school physics makes many of the
examples more meaningful.
