===== Introduction =====

SciPy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The core library is NumPy which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. If you need to manipulate numbers on a computer and display or publish the results, give SciPy a try! 

Why not have try right now? [[http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook|Here]] are lots of wonderful examples.

===== Step-By-Step Guide =====

=== Here are the install guideline in the platform of FC 5: ===

== First, install numpy ==

  - yum install numpy
  - yum install lapack-devel blas-devel
== Second, install scipy ==

  - cd .../scipy-x.x.x
  - python setup.py install
== Third, install matplotlib ==

  - python setup.py build
  - python setup.py install

=== Here are the testing methods to check whether the modules are ready: ===
  - from numpy import * (check numpy)
  - from scipy import * (check scipy)
  - import pylab (check matplotlib)
