Modeling and Simulation in Python: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

By Allen B. Downey

Modeling and Simulation in Python is a thorough but easy-to-follow introduction to physical modelling - that is, the art of describing and simulating real-world systems. Readers are guided through modelling things like world population growth, infectious disease, bungee jumping, baseball flight trajectories, celestial mechanics, and more while simultaneously developing a strong understanding of fundamental programming concepts like loops, vectors, and functions. Clear and concise, with a focus on learning by doing, the author spares the reader abstract, theoretical complexities and gets right to hands-on examples that show how to produce useful models and simulations.
