PyCon Ireland 2013 - Science & Python!

(Via http://python.ie/pycon/2013/talks/science___python_/)
Speaker: Ulrich Dangel (http://twitter.com/mr_ud)

Python is widely used in scientific computing due to a vast number of packages targeting scientific problems. This talk highlights different useful python packages for scientific computation and data analysis. The first part of the talk focuses on different modules via demonstrations, while the second part shows how to integrate Python for writing a paper, by using literate programming.
