The emphasis is on generic algorithms, clean program design, the use of functions, and automatic tests for verification. The book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills that allows students to write simple programs for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in the context of engineering and science courses. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style employed is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students. Also, a number of small errors have been corrected.

In addition, the two first chapters of the previous edition have been extended and split up into five new chapters, thus expanding the introduction to programming from 50 to 150 pages. Throughout the book, the explanations provided are now more detailed, previous examples have been modified, and new sections, examples and exercises have been added. This second edition of the well-received book has been extensively revised: All code is now written in Python version 3.6 (no longer version 2.7).

This version of PetaLinux appears to include a recipe for. This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems. Can Python 3.6 be installed in PetaLinux I am using PetaLinux 2019.2 on a Zynq Eval Board (ZC702). This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
