Scipy-Lecture-Notes

This repository gathers some lecture notes on the scientific Python ecosystem that can be used for a full course of scientific computing with Python.

These documents are written with the rest markup language (.rst extension) and built using Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/.

You can view the online version at: http://scipy-lectures.github.io

Building instructions

To generate the html output for on-screen display, Type:

make html

the generated html files can be found in build/html

The first build takes a long time, but information is cached and subsequent builds will be faster.

To generate the pdf file for printing:

make pdf

The pdf builder is a bit pointy and you might have some TeX errors. Tweaking the layout in the *.rst files is usually enough to work around these problems.
