Overview of this book

Python is one of the leading open source platforms for data science and numerical computing. IPython and the associated Jupyter Notebook offer efficient interfaces to Python for data analysis and interactive visualization, and they constitute an ideal gateway to the platform. IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook, Second Edition contains many ready-to-use, focused recipes for high-performance scientific computing and data analysis, from the latest IPython/Jupyter features to the most advanced tricks, to help you write better and faster code. You will apply these state-of-the-art methods to various real-world examples, illustrating topics in applied mathematics, scientific modeling, and machine learning. The first part of the book covers programming techniques: code quality and reproducibility, code optimization, high-performance computing through just-in-time compilation, parallel computing, and graphics card programming. The second part tackles data science, statistics, machine learning, signal and image processing, dynamical systems, and pure and applied mathematics.

Introduction

In this chapter, we will cover Python's capabilities in graph theory, geometry, and geography.

Graphs are mathematical objects describing relations between items. They are ubiquitous in science and engineering, as they can represent many kinds of real-world relations: friends in a social network, atoms in a molecule, website links, cells in a neural network, neighboring pixels in an image, and so on. Graphs are also classical data structures in computer science. Finally, many domain-specific problems may be re-expressed as graph problems, and then solved with well-known algorithms.

We will also see a few recipes related to geometry and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which refers to the processing and analysis of any kind of spatial, geographical, or topographical data.

In this introduction, we will give a brief overview of these topics.

Graphs

Mathematically, a graph Graphs is defined by a set Graphs of vertices or nodes, and a set Graphs of edges (two-element subsets of Graphs). Two nodes...
