Steven A. Gottlieb and Rubin H. Landau, Series Editors Introduction to Python for Science and Engineering This guide offers a quick and incisive introduction to Python programming for anyone. The author has carefully developed a concise approach to using Python in any discipline of science and engineering, with plenty of examples, practical hints, and insider tips. Readers will see why Python is such a widely appealing program, and learn the basics of syntax, data structures, input and output, plotting, conditionals and loops, user-defined functions, curve fitting, numerical routines, animation, and visualization.

I skipped the first few chapters and read only the chapters which introduce numpy, matplotlib, scipy and pandas. I found it nice to read, and had a jupyter notebook open on the side, to try some examples. The examples were clear and easy to understand. I enjoyed reading it.
