====== Scientific Python ======

===== Python Numpy Tutorial (with Jupyter and Colab) =====

This great interactive [[https://cs231n.github.io/python-numpy-tutorial/|Python Numpy Tutorial]] \\ is part of the Stanford class [[https://cs231n.github.io/|CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition]]

The course is also provided on in interactive **[[https://colab.research.google.com/github/cs231n/cs231n.github.io/blob/master/python-colab.ipynb|Google Colab]]** session.


===== Think Python =====

My favorite book on introduction to Python. Printed version published by O'Reilly, pdf officially downloadable from here: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ 


===== The Scipy Lectures =====

===== H. P. Langtangen: "A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python" =====

Hans Petter Langtangen has written two excellent books on Scientific Programming with Python. The one I use in my courses is //A primer on Scientific Programming with Python//, which is also available in the [[ http://www.digibib.net/permalink/1383/FHBRHW-x/HBZ:HT017256191|university library]].

**UPDATE: Hans Petter passed away on Oct. 10, 2016 at 54 because of cancer.** \\ This makes me very sad. I would have loved to meet him once.

All his web pages at University Oslo have been removed.

===== Simon Funke: "Higher Level Programming" ======

Simon Funke <simon at simula.no>, [[http://www.uio.no/|UiO]] (University of Oslo), [[http://simula.no/|Simula Research Lab]]

:!: The great teaching material on "Higher Level Programming" can be found on [[https://uio-inf3331.github.io/]]

"The lecture was initially created by Hans Petter Langtangen and extended by Joakim Sundnes, Ola Skavhaug, Jonathan Feinberg, Karl-Erik Holter, Vidar Tonaas Fauske, Benjamin Ragan-Kelley and Simon Funke. It is being taught on a yearly basis at University of Oslo under the name [[http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/ifi/INF3331/|INF3331/INF4331]]." (Cited from the Github repo)
