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.

umfpack is an optional dependency. matplotlib and ipython are nice to
|
|
|
|
|
have in connection with scipy, but scipy does not depend on them.

NOTE: Presently, if you install umfpack and its dependencies before
|
|
|
|
|
scipy, make sure there is a link to /usr/include/amd/amd.h from within
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/include/umfpack, otherwise scipy will not build.
