The emphasis is on introducing some basic Python (programming) concepts that are relevant for numerical algorithms. The later chapters touch upon numerical libraries such ... To study a process with a computer simulation we distinguish two steps: the rst one is to develop a model of the real system. When studying the motion of a small object ...
