| 5 == What is numerics? == | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Over the years and at various companies, I have found the need to | |
| 8 perform quick pipelines of calculations on mathematical data (usually | |
| 9 numbers). The `numerics` | |
| 10 [python package](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numerics) | |
| 11 is an assemblege of tools and methods needed to scratch this issue. | |
| 12 It is neither scoped nor complete. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 `numerics` largely deals in the currency of Comma Separated Value (CSV) | |
| 15 files. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 == Dependencies == | |
| 18 | |
| 19 The backbone of `numerics` are its dependencies, which I have either | |
| 20 used + liked or just used: | |
| 21 | |
| 22 - [NumPy](http://www.numpy.org/) | |
| 23 - [pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org/) : python data analysis | |
| 24 - [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/) | |
| 25 - [bokeh](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/) : because I couldn't | |
| 26 decide which visualization library I *actually* wanted | |
| 27 | |
| 28 These dependencies are (mostly) listed in `numerics`'s | |
| 29 [setup.py](http://k0s.org/hg/numerics/file/tip/setup.py) | |

| 38 I have found it necessary to `pip install bokeh` before | |
| 39 the rest of numerics...otherwise a version conflict re `pytz` may result. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 Then one may do `python setup.py develop` in the `numerics` directory | |
