From the Back Cover

Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Calculations Using Python®

Presents standard numerical approaches for solving common mathematical problems in engineering using Python®Python® is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, and Java. The Python programming language is ideal due to its rapid growth and strong recent interest among practitioners in areas as diverse as numerical modeling, data science, and bioinformatics. Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Calculations Using Python® presents standard numerical approaches for solving common mathematical problems in engineering.

The book covers the most common engineering calculations used by students and utilizes the freely available Python software and its supporting libraries. Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Calculations Using Python® features topics on:

  • Programming in Python
  • Common External Libraries for Engineering
  • Plotting
  • Symbolic Mathematics
  • Linear Systems
  • Regression
  • Nonlinear Equations
  • Statistics
  • Numerical Differentiation and Integration
  • Initial Value Problems
  • Boundary Value Problems
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Finite Element Method

Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Calculations Using Python® is written to be accessible to engineering students in a numerical methods or computational methods course as well as for practicing engineers who want to learn to solve common problems using Python. Also included is an electronic download of the Python codes presented in the book.
