In August, a team of mathematicians posted a paper claiming to solve a major problem in algebraic geometry — using entirely alien techniques. It instantly captivated the field, stoking excitement in ...

A PSF proposal to address vulnerabilities in Python and PyPi was recommended for funding, but it was declined because the terms barred “any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory ...

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 with ...

Working with numbers stored as strings is a common task in Python programming. Whether you’re parsing user input, reading data from a file, or working with APIs, you’ll often need to transform numeric ...

String manipulation is a core skill for every Python developer. Whether you’re working with CSV files, log entries, or text analytics, knowing how to split strings in Python makes your code cleaner ...

Here we make explicit the connection between subscript notation in mathematics and indices in Python. In mathematics: Say we have a collection of objects X. We can refer to individual elements of the ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
