Version 1.7.2

Adding a python port of the minimize method in Lecture17.

Version 1.7.1 : adding Brent's method

Adding Brent's method of extrema finding to the C++ toolkit, was only in python one.

Version 1.7

• Updated cpt C++ packages to be function templates
• Updated cpt_python packages to handle minimization and maximization (with scipy libraries)
• Added Lecture 17 examples for minimization and maximization finding

WARNING : This now requires scipy instead of merely being recommended. Best way to install is here :

Fixed Lecture 13 makefile

The same fixes for the Lecture 14 and 15 makefiles were required for Lecture 13 also.

Lecture 14 and 15 : Linux compatibility

Lectures 14 and 15 have updated Makefiles which are no longer causing trouble with Linux. Also removed the obsolete "extern" statements from the matrix.hpp.

Lecture 15 : Plus compiler compatibility

Adding stdio to matrix.hpp for some compiler compatibility, it seems many of the
non-gcc compilers are choking on this.

Lecture 15

Adding Lecture 15 example of demonstrating the solution of a generalized eigenvalue problem using the example of a triatomic molecule.

Lecture 14 with sparse matrix example

I added an example of a boundary-value problem using a sparse matrix formalism and
added the sparse matrix code from NR to the cpt library as well.

Lecture 14

Adding a few applications of linear algebra in C++ and python for Lecture 14.

Adding Lecture 13 using the Computational Physics Toolkit

This release adds examples for Lecture 13 including a Wheatstone bridge,
and an example of how to implement the "scattering" code from Lecture 12
with a new interface.
