6 <p>Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open source, |
|
7 extensible programming language. It combines clarity and readability, |
|
8 making it an extremely powerful language that can be used for various |
|
9 applications and problems.</p> |
|
10 |
|
11 <p>Python is simple and easy to learn and apply. It offers an interactive |
|
12 environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object |
|
13 oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures, |
|
14 extensive documentation and clear syntax make it an ideal first |
|
15 language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable |
|
16 to tackle almost any programming tasks. Its simplicity makes it easy to |
|
17 adapt to multiple educational domains.</p> |
|
18 |
|
19 <p>Python has several libraries that enable numeric and symbolic computing. |
|
20 It also interfaces well with native codes in C,C++ and FORTRAN and has |
|
21 excellent libraries for plotting/visualization. Python also provides |
|
22 libraries for general purpose computing including generating user |
|
23 interfaces and web development. These coupled with it's interactive |
|
24 interpreter make Python an excellent language for Scientific Computing.</p> |
|
25 |
|
26 <p>All these features when combined with their wide-ranging applications |
|
27 make Python a perfect fit for use in Education, Industry and Scientific |
|
28 Computing.</p> |
