BOOK
SAMPLE
David J. Pine, CRC Press
Series in Computational Physics
ISBN 9781138583894
388 Pages 75 B/W Illustrations
A “how to” introduction to scientific Python written initially for undergraduate physics students but appropriate for anyone wanting an introduction to Python for scientific programming. It's for beginners, not for experts. It includes an introduction to very basic scientific programming using the numpy, matplotlib, & scipy libraries. It also includes instructions on how to download and install Python and these three libraries as well as an introduction to IPython notebooks.

Talks
TEDxNYU
"Nano-lego"
Date: July 17, 2014
Talk description: Pine talks about programming nano-particles, so-called "pac-man" and "patchy" particles, to hook up and dance with each other using nano-dimples and "sticky DNA", which Nature magazine has called the "New Bond".

ICTS, Physics Sereies Lecture
"Introduction to Soft Matter"
Date: July 13, 2015 ~ July 18, 2015
Talk description: This advanced level school is second in the series of schools being jointly organized by RRI and ICTS, following the highly successful 1st joint school. The present series is an off-shoot of an earlier series of schools entitled RRI School On Statistical Physics started in 2010 at the Raman Research Institute. The present school will be held at the ICTS campus.
