1: Scipy Tutorial

This is a tutorial for Scientific Python (Scipy), a scientific computing module for the Python programming language. There are a couple of other introductions to Scipy online, which are of excellent quality:

• Scipy Tutorial: the official tutorial.
• More Python Scientific Lecture Notes: a textbook which goes in-depth into using Scipy.

The present tutorial serves a slightly different purpose. It acts as a "walkthrough", guiding you through each step of writing a basic but complete Scipy program. You can use this as the basis for a more complete exploration of Scipy, possibly using the above online resources.

I will assume no pre-existing knowledge of the Python programming language. Programming language constructs are explained as they appear. But if you need more an even more basic tutorial on Python, feel free to consult any of the dozens available online.
