Synopsis:

Python is one of the most popular programming languages, widely used for data analysis and modelling, and is fast becoming the leading choice for scientists and engineers. Unlike other textbooks introducing Python, typically organised by language syntax, this book uses many examples from across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth science, and Engineering to teach and motivate students in science and engineering. The text is organised by the tasks and workflows students undertake day-to-day, helping them see the connections between programming tools and their disciplines. The pace of study is carefully developed for complete beginners, and a spiral pedagogy is used so concepts are introduced across multiple chapters, allowing readers to engage with topics more than once. “Try This!” exercises and online Jupyter notebooks encourage students to test their new knowledge, and further develop their programming skills. Online solutions are available for instructors, alongside discipline-specific homework problems across the sciences and engineering.

About the Authors: Johnny Wei-Bing Lin is an Associate Teaching Professor and Director of Undergraduate Computing Education in the Division of Computing and Software Systems at the University of Washington Bothell, and an Affiliate Professor of Physics and Engineering at North Park University. He was the founding Chair of the American Meteorological Society's annual Python Symposium.

Hannah Aizenman is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at The Graduate Center, City University of New York. She studies visualization and is a core developer of the Python library Matplotlib.

Erin Manette Cartas Espinel graduated with a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Irvine. After more than 10 years at the University of Washington Bothell, she is now a software development engineer.

Kim Gunnerson recently retired as an Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Washington Bothell, where she taught chemistry and introductory computer programming.

Joanne Liu received her Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from the University of California San Diego.
