Connectionists: Textbook announcement: Introduction to Scientific Computing and Programming in Python

[Simon Levy]

http://project-mosaic-books.com/?page_id=19

With Python taking over as the language of choice for connectionist
modeling, we felt the need for a textbook that would give students and
researchers a practical introduction to the NumPy and matplotlib packages,
while also covering core concepts in software design. A chapter on sensors
and signals shows you how to write your own data-acquisition code, and a
chapter on graphical user interfaces shows you how to write software for
use by non-programmers.

>From the book's website <http://project-mosaic-books.com/?page_id=19>:

This book provides students with the modern skills and concepts needed to
be able to use a computer expressively in scientific work. The authors take
an integrated approach by covering programming, important methods and
techniques of scientific computation (graphics, the organization of data,
data acquisition, numerical issues, etc.) and the organization of software.
Balancing the best of the teach-a-package and teach-a-language approaches,
the book teaches general-purpose language skills and concepts, and also
takes advantage of existing package-like software so that realistic
computations can be performed.
