This git repository hosts my notes on using python in scientific and engineering calculations. The aim is to collect examples that span the types of computation/calculations scientists and engineers typically do to demonstrate the utility of python as a computational platform in engineering education.
Installation
You may want to install the python library with pycse:
pip install pycse
Feeling brave? You can install the cutting edge from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/jkitchin/pycse
Docker
You can use a Docker image to run everything here. You have to have Docker installed and working on your system.
See docker/ for the setup used.
Option 1
I provide a pycse command-line utility that is installed with the package. Simply run pycse in a shell in the directory you want to start Jupyter lab in. When done, type C-c in the shell to quit, and it should be good.
Option 2
You can manually pull the image:
docker pull jkitchin/pycse:latest
Then, run the docker/pycse.sh script. This script mounts the current working directory, and takes care of choosing a random port.
Documentation
