Effective Computation In Physics

A Field Guide to Research With Python

Kathryn Huff

BIDS Data Science Faire, May 5, 2015

Science

  • builds and organizes knowledge
  • tests explanations about the universe
  • systematically,
  • objectively,
  • transparently,
  • and reproducibly.

Otherwise it's not science.

This book was heavily inspired by the work of Software Carpentry and The Hacker Within. We are thrilled to see Effective Computation in Physics come to press and spread the joys of computation further into the physical sciences. In case you were wondering, the cuddly creature on the cover is a bobtail squid.
