Scipy: Scienti C Toolkit

SciPy is a scientific computing toolkit built on Numpy, offering a variety of mathematical algorithms and convenience functions organized into subpackages for different areas of computation. Key submodules include integration, optimization, interpolation, and linear algebra, among others, providing functionalities similar to MATLAB. It is a free alternative that leverages the full power of Python, supporting various programming paradigms and direct calls to C/C++/Fortran code.

SciPy: Scienti c Toolkit

SciPy
SciPy is a collection of mathematical algorithms and convience functions built on
Numpy data structures
Organized into subpackages covering di erent scienti c computing areas
A data-processing and prototyping environment rivaling MATLAB
SciPy Submodules
Special functions (scipy.special)
Integration (scipy.integrate)
Optimization (scipy.optimize)
Interpolation (scipy.interpolate)
Fourier Transforms (scipy.fftpack)
Signal Processing (scipy.signal)
Linear Algebra (scipy.linalg)
Sparse Eigenvalue Problems with ARPACK Compressed Sparse Graph Routines
(scipy.sparse.csgraph)
Statistics (scipy.stats)
Multi-dimensional image processing (scipy.ndimage)
File IO (scipy.io)
Weave (scipy.weave)
And more. . .
Common submodules: scipy.integrate
Integrate the function:
4
2
f (x) = x dx
∫
0

import scipy.integrate
ans, err = scipy.integrate.quad(lambda x: x ** 2, 0., 4)
ans
21.333333333333336

See also: dblquad, tplquad, fixed_quad, trapz, simps


Common submodules: scipy.linalg
Matrix Inverse
import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg
a = np.random.rand(3,3)
scipy.linalg.inv(a)
array([[ 2.09386567, 0.18794291, -2.33891785],
[ 4.50278126, -2.39788758, -1.04738682],
[-6.0432121 , 2.88320448, 3.46459537]])

Eigenvalues
scipy.linalg.eigvals(a)
array([ 2.08083995+0.j, 0.16847753+0.j, -0.30717139+0.j])
Common submodules: scipy.interpolate

Interpolate a function
import numpy as np
from scipy import interpolate, integrate
x = np.arange(-1,11)
y = np.exp(-x/3.0)
f = interpolate.interp1d(x,y); f
<scipy.interpolate.interpolate.interp1d at 0x1127a2728>

Integrate the interpolated function


ans, err = integrate.quad(f,0,10); ans
2.9197153790964223

Integrate the data


integrate.simps(y[1:-1],x[1:-1])
2.8550038226912573
Why Python/Numpy/SciPy?
A free alternative to MATLAB

The power of the full Python language

Object-oriented
Procedural
Functional (almost)

More reasons come:


MATLAB-like plotting
Call C/C++/Fortran code directly
MPI-style parallel programming (take my graduate course!)
