Notes (A-term 2014): For this course, we will use the 32-bit version of Python 3.4 for Windows. The reason is that "numpy" (Numerical Python) is not officially available in 64-bit form. The official sources for these downloads are:-- https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-341/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.8.1/ The official Windows x86 installer for Python is here:-- https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.1/python-3.4.1.msi The official installer for numpy 1.8.1 on Windows is here:-- http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.8.1/numpy-1.8.1-win32-superpack-python3.4.exe/download In addition, the Homework #2 requires matplotlib-1.3.1. Matplotlib, in turn, requires numpy, along with the the following packages:-- dateutil, pytz, pyparsing, and six None of these are installed by default when matplotlib is installed. Therefore, they have to be installed separately. The files are python-dateutil-2.2.win32-py3.4.exe pytz-2014.4.win32-py3.4.exe pyparsing-2.0.2.win32-py3.4.exe six-1.7.3.win32-py3.4.exe All are available from the following UNOFFICIAL web-site:-- http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs Copies of all downloads are in this folder.
