Book Description
This book is based on "First semester in Numerical Analysis with Julia". The contents of the original book are retained, while all the algorithms are implemented in Python (Version 3.8.0). The authors present Python as an open source (under OSI), interpreted, general-purpose programming language that has a large number of users around the world. They note that Python ranked third in August 2020 by the TIOBE programming community index, a measure of popularity of programming languages, and is the top-ranked interpreted language.
The authors hope this book will better serve readers who are interested in a first course in Numerical Analysis, but are more familiar with Python for the implementation of the algorithms. The first chapter of the book contains a self-contained tutorial for Python, including how to set up the computer environment. The authors recommend Anaconda, the open-source individual edition, for easy installation of Python and effortless management of Python packages. They also recommend the Jupyter environment, a web-based interactive development environment for Python as well as many other programming languages, which was used throughout the book for easy code development, graph visualization and reproducibility.
