Summery:

This book gives an introduction to python as a language, then dives into some engineering problems and how they can be solved using python:

• Plotting (matplotlib)
• Curve Fitting (linear regression and nonlinear least squares)
• Numerical Routines (SciPy and Numpy)
• Data manipulation (Pandas)
• Animation (matplotlib)
• Intro to Python GUI (PyQt)

Opinion

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.

Conclusion:

• Level: Intermediate
• I recommend it for students of information engineering, and who finished their degree.
