Preface

I first learned to program in 2011 in Dr. Richard O. Gray’s computational physics course.

It was a revelatory experience that shaped my life. I enjoyed the class so much that I served as the TA the following year and later earned a PhD in Computational Science.

I’ve kept the lecture notes on my various computers ever since. I want to convert the notes into a Quarto book as a conservation project. In addition to replicating the source material I want to add some examples from Python and Scipy.

This is a book created from markdown and executable code.

See Knuth (1984) for additional discussion of literate programming.
