SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics,
|
||
|
|
science, and engineering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many
|
||
|
|
user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for
|
||
|
|
numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular
|
||
|
|
operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy
|
||
|
|
and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by
|
||
|
|
some of the world's leading scientists and engineers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
matplotlib and ipython are nice to have in connection with scipy, but scipy
|
||
|
|
does not depend on them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since ver. 0.14.0 scipy uses SuperLU instead of UMFPACK for solving unsymmetric
|
||
|
|
sparse linear systems. If you want to use UMFPACK you must install it in advance
|
||
|
|
of numpy and build numpy accordingly (see the README to numpy's SlackBuild).
|
||
|
|
Moreover, after installing scipy, you have to install scikit-umfpack, which
|
||
|
|
presently is not available on SlackBuilds.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to build scipy for debugging, set DEBUG=y.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: If you use this SlackBuild scipy will run with the python 3 version
|
||
|
|
installed on your system. If you'd like to use python 2.7.xx as
|
||
|
|
provided by Slackware Linux then you have to install scipy.
