Many programming languages include libraries to do more complicated math. You can do statistics, numerical analysis or handle big numbers. One topic many programming languages have difficulty with is ...

This is a crash course for Python. We'll quickly go through the basic data types of Python (strings, lists, sets, dictionaries), and cover conditionals and loops (if-else, while loops, for). We'll end ...

Recall that R is a statistical programming language—a language designed to do things like t-tests, regression, and so on. The core of R was developed during the 1970s and since then, many libraries ...

In a recent write-up, [David Delony] explains how he built a Wolfram Mathematica-like engine with Python. Core to the system is SymPy for symbolic math support. [David] said being able to work ...

Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...
