Textbook

Contents

Please see PrairieLearn for the lecture notes from class. If you prefer more written materials, we recommend this textbook that follows roughly the same content we cover throughout the semester. It’s completely optional, and goes into more depth than we do, so not all of it will be relevant.

We recommend getting the PDF through the library link rather than buying a hard copy.

• Hans Petter Langtangen, A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python, 5th ed. (2016). ISBN: 9783662498866.

  • Library access to PDF copy (Please note that you can purchase a hard copy through SpringerLink website at a reduced price if desired.)
  • The textbook has a website with downloadable source code if you want it.
