Python Physics books with Python examples

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights two specific physics books that incorporate Python examples, focusing on mechanics and oscillations/waves, both published by Springer. It notes the University of Oslo's initiative to integrate programming into physics education. Participants express interest in finding additional resources covering other branches of physics, such as quantum mechanics and electrodynamics. A suggestion is made to explore the Open Source Physics site, which offers a book on physics simulations and ODE solvers. The conversation also mentions the scarcity of specialized texts that address various physics branches with Python, with some references to optics books that utilize Matlab and Python. Overall, the thread seeks recommendations for more specialized physics programming resources.

Hello,

I have found two books that show physics branches with python examples:

This is for mechanics:

https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319195957

The other on oscillation and waves:

https://www.springer.com/la/book/9783319723136

I see in these books that the University of Oslo is doing an effort to teach Physics including programming.

DOes anybody know any other branches of physics with similar books? Quantum mechanics? Electrodynamics? Quantum electrodynamics?

Thanks!

ANy other books?
 
Most books I "know" dealing with physics and python are about computional or numerical physics or also on general scientific programming. So they are not specialized to the different branches of physics like EM, QM, etc. But there are also one or two books about optics with samples in Matlab and at least one about optics with python. Using a appropriate search engine you will find the book titles quickly.
