We decided last month to do a Matlab conversion session (see https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/python-north-west/C-H_O7G7fDg)

The other day I heard Daley tell someone “There’s nothing you can do in Matlab that you can’t do in Python” – and I thought it would be fun to prove him right!
I studied Maths at uni (finished last year) and did plenty of cool stuff in Matlab including dynamical simulation, awesome graphing/plotting and systems analysis. I have plenty of material we could try to reproduce in Python. I’ve done very little of this sort of thing in Python but I know a few of you have use NumPy, SciPy, etc. It would be great to look at some libraries which would help us achieve this.
One of my lecturers wrote a book called ‘Dynamical Systems with Applications using …’ [a version for Matlab, Maple and Mathematica] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynamical-Systems-Applications-using-MATLAB%C2%AE/dp/0817643214
Should make a good coding challenge for us!
