, Second Edition
This book targets programmers and scientists who have basic Python knowledge and who are keen to perform scientific and numerical computations with SciPy.
Who is this book for?
This book targets programmers and scientists who have basic Python knowledge and who are keen to perform scientific and numerical computations with SciPy.
What you will learn
Get to know the benefits of using the combination of Python, NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib as a programming environment for scientific purposes
Create and manipulate an object array used by SciPy
Use SciPy with large matrices to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Focus on construction, acquisition, quality improvement, compression, and feature extraction of signals
Make use of SciPy to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data, with examples taken from statistics and clustering
Acquire the skill of constructing a triangulation of points, convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and many similar applications
Find out ways that SciPy can be used with other languages such as C/C++, Fortran, and MATLAB/Octave
its good if your a novice at using numpy, scipy, matplot;ib, etc . Not worth it if you use scypi all the time as I do , but still worth 5 stars if your just getitng started.

This book provide a very good starting point to start using scipy for scientific computing. The book start with a basic python training and then continues with scipy proper. Exercises are sorta complex but given the topic it's no big deal. If you need to start using scipy for any or your project or you need to pick a language to help with your math studies this book is for you

I bought an electronic version of this book directly from Packt Publishing at an incredible price. I use Python constantly, so I was curious what this book can provide. Three authors with experience in the architectures of high-performance number crunching with Python combined their experience into writing this book, so they offer quite a few valuable gems in writing code. The code is also available when you buy the electronic version. You do not need to be an advanced Python user since this book is written in an elegant combination of introducing the basics with presenting the challenges that may arise from using SciPy. For this reason is probably not recommended for high-level Python users which should be probably quite accustomed with the code written in this book.
