This repository gathers some lecture notes on the scientific Python ecosystem that can be used for a full course of scientific computing with Python.
These documents are written with the rest markup language (.rst
extension) and built using Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/.

As stated in the LICENSE.txt file, this material comes with no strings

However, we would like this reference material to be improved over time, thus we encourage people to contribute back changes. These will be reviewed and edited by the original authors and the editors.
To generate the html output for on-screen display, Type:
make html
the generated html files can be found in build/html
The first build takes a long time, but information is cached and subsequent builds will be faster.
To generate the pdf file for printing:
make pdf
The pdf builder is a bit pointy and you might have some TeX errors. Tweaking
the layout in the *.rst files is usually enough to work around these
problems.
