a bunch of lecture notes for a python for scientific computing class. ideally, they should be useless unless you are taking the class. if you are taking the class, feel free to supplement these with any information from any of the following: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/jrjohansson/scientific-python-lectures/blob/master/Lecture-0-Scientific-Computing-with-Python.ipynb https://scipy-lectures.github.io/
