(chapters 1–5) covers Python basics and elementary numerical techniques: interpolation, root finding (bisection, Newton-Raphson), and numerical integration (trapezoidal, Simpson, adaptive). Newman constantly applies these to physics: e.g., using Simpson’s rule to compute the period of a nonlinear pendulum or the blackbody spectral radiance.
