CMS Seminar: Talk on Scientific Python by Dr Liew How Hui

==============================================================================
Centre of Mathematical Sciences Seminar Series

Date: 30 April 2009 (Thursday)
Time: 2 - 3 pm
Venue: Meeting Room, FICT, UTAR.
Speaker: Dr. Liew How Hui, UTAR
Title: Scientific Python

===============================================================================

Dear all,

This week's CMS talk will be on this Thursday, 2-3pm. The speaker is
our Dr. Liew
How Hui. His talk will be on Scientific Python.

More and more research in many areas of mathematics are involving
certain degrees
of computer calculations. Matlab is one of the most widely used software for the
mathematicians, due to friendliness and many excellent toolboxes available. The
down sides of Matlab is it is not quite a general purpose programming
language. It
is not straight forward is one would like to use Matlab to search the internet,
parsing xml, working with regular expressions, handling gzipped files and so on.
Python is an alternative general purpose scripting language which is easy to use
and learn. Combining with Scientific Python library, it can be a powerful tools
that match the functionality of Matlab, at the same time provide flexibility and
many modern computing data structures.


Please note that the change of the venue, it will be in FICT Meeting
Room, due to
room renovation.


Thank you very much.

regards,
Kheng
