Python is a versatile and powerful computer language without a steep learning curve. It can be deployed to simulate various physicochemical parameters or to analyze complex molecular, bio-molecular, and crystalline structures. The objective of this book is to give a gentle introduction to Python programming with relevant algorithms, iterations, and basic simulations from a chemist's perspective. This book outlines the fundamentals of Python coding through the built-in functions, libraries, and modules as well as with a few selected external packages for physical/materials/inorganic/analytical/organic/ nuclear chemistry in terms of numerical, symbolic, structural, and graphical data analysis using the default, Integrated Development and Learning Environment. You will also learn about the Structural Elucidation of organic molecules and inorganic complexes with specific Cheminformatics modules. In addition to this, the book covers chemical data analysis with Numpy and also includes topics such as SymPy and Matplotlib for Symbolic calculations and Plotting. By the end of the book, you will be able to use Python as a graphical tool or a calculator for numerical and symbolic computations in the interdisciplinary areas of chemistry.
