el core i5 at 2.5 GHz with 4 GB RAM. So can Fortran crunch 250 digits numbers in an integration formula under 3 seconds with the same computing parameters as above? Or is Python better at it? Thanks Vick -Original Message- From: Laura Creighton [mailto:l...@openend.se

reply does not answer the first part of the proposition of my question! Given that all scientists like to code in Fortran but does it mean that Python is inferior to it in terms of mathematical / scientific computation? Thanks Vick -Original Message- From: William Ray Wing [mailto:w

tatement is insinuating that Python is inferior to Fortran as a mathematical tool and that all of the scientific community prefers to use Fortran. My question is simple: Is he right or wrong? Thanks Vick ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To

d it, I'd give the dopri8 a shot. I am up for it so I'll see if I can find time to write a script that shows how to do it. [Vick] Hope you've had the time to code it. I'm waiting for it. By the way your code for the Adams-Moulton coefficients are actually the Adams-Bashforth on

a working 2d-plot (test2d.py) to show what it's supposed to do. The 3d plot (test3d.py) should plot the same but with an additional z coordinates and a z axis! Thanks Vick -Original Message- From: Oscar Benjamin [mailto:oscar.j.benja...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 01 August, 2013 01:

PRI to compute for the n-body problem using 1st order ODEs which requires you to have 4 equations for 1 planet. I have already made a 10-body problem through an n-body solver in python and using DOPRI as my integrator. It works fine. Thanks again for your time and consideration. Regards
