SciPy Getting Started

Installation of SciPy

If Python and PIP are already installed on your system, installing SciPy is straightforward. Simply use the following command:

C:\Users\Your Name>pip install scipy

If the command fails, you can use a Python distribution that comes with SciPy pre-installed, such as Anaconda or Spyder.

Import SciPy

After installing SciPy, you can import the specific module(s) you need for your applications by adding the statement: from scipy import module.

from scipy import constants

Having imported the constants module from SciPy, the application is now ready to utilize it.

Example

How many cubic meters are equivalent to one liter?

from scipy import constants

print(constants.liter)

Constants: SciPy provides a collection of mathematical constants, including one for liters, which returns the equivalent of 1 liter in cubic meters.

You will explore more about constants in the next chapter.
