What you need for this book

To work with the examples and try out the code of this book, all you need is a recent version of Python (2.7 or higher) with the SciPy stack: NumPy, the SciPy library, matplotlib, IPython, pandas, and SymPy. Although recipes to install all these independently are provided throughout the book, we recommend that you perform a global installation through a scientific Python distribution such as Anaconda.
