Python vs MATLAB
== Open source Python library
– a collection of mathematical algorithms and convenience functions
– is mainly used by scientists, analysts and engineers for scientific computing, visualization and related activities
– Initial Realease: 2006; Stable Release: 2020
– depends on the NumPy module
→ basic data structure used by SciPy is a N-dimensional array provided by NumPy
Benefits
Features
– SciPy library provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines:
SciPy ecosystem
– scienitific computing in Python builds upon a small core of open-source software for mathematics, science and engineering
More relevant Packages
– the SciPy ecosystem includes, based on the core properties, other specialized tools
