physics-utils 0.3.2

Helpers for empirical data handling and plotting

PhysicsTools

This is a library for dealing with some tedious tasks for basic physics labs.

Features

• Automatic uncertainty propagation on basic arithmetic and trigonometric operations
• Generated LaTeX steps of any calculations done with the MeasuredData class
• A physics scripting language for fast usage of the library
• Graping wrappers that take numbers with uncertainty for automatic error bars
• LaTeX data table generators

Installation

Look under the examples folder to see the library in use.

physics_utils can be installed straight from PyPI using pip, like so:

python3 -m pip install physics-utils

Usage

To get started with using the library, you can import MeasuredData from physics_utils and begin doing calculations like normal once your numbers are wrapped:

from physics_utils import MeasuredData

print(MeasuredData(2, 0.5) * MeasuredData(3, 0.4)) # 6±2.

To start using the scripting language, you can type python3 -m physics_utils.script in your terminal to start the interpreter, or python3 -m physics_utils.script <filename> to run a file. To do the same as the example above in the physics script interpreter, you'd just need to type this:

>>> 2~0.5 * 3~0.4
6±2.

And there are a number of other helpful features built into the language.
