Scientific Computing with Python is a National workshop focused on the python programming language and its applications to science education, scientific research and scientific computing. This workshop is jointly organised by FOSSEE - an MHRD project at IITB, and UC College Aluva and funded by the "National Mission on Education through ICT”.
Scientific research, especially in computationally intensive areas, typically requires a good grasp of the domain and a solid computer programming background. Given this context, we illustrate why it is important for scientists, academicians and engineers to learn a powerful, Free/Open Source Software, general purpose, scripting language and how Python fits this role very well.
