A major focus of the 6th edition of SIS is to rewrite the problems, demonstrations, and solutions to use the modern scientific computing stack centered on the Python language and to incorporate more examples using Python and Jupyter notebooks.

Python emerged in the last decade as a powerful scripting and programming language, especially for scientific computing. Using it has several advantages, including robust numerical libraries and plotting routines and its accessibility to users as an open source community. We will rarely use its object oriented properties. Our goal is to write programs that function while keeping the syntax and use on a relatively elementary level. Jupyter provides a seamless integration of technical text, code, and computational results.
