Re: [Numpy-discussion] NumPy in Teaching

Although I don't teach, I did use NumPy for coding in a grad level CFD course. I found much nicer to use than MATLAB. As the codes get more complex you can introduce code profiling and inline C or FORTRAN. The Python syntax is so clean, you spend more time on the algorithm, less on the syntax. On

Hi Steve, I have taught Astronomical Data Analysis twice at Cornell using IDL, and I will be teaching it next Fall at UCF using NumPy. Though I've been active here in the recent past, I'm actually not a regular NumPy user myself yet (I used Numeric experimentally for about 6 months in 1997), so I
