About the Author
Cyrille Rossant is a French researcher in quantitative neuroscience. A graduate
of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, he holds a Master's degree and a Ph.D.
in Mathematics and Computer Science. He uses IPython every day to model and
simulate the brain and to analyze experimental data. He is the creator of a few
scientic Python packages, including Playdoh (parallel computing) and Galry
(high-performance interactive visualization).
I am grateful to the vibrant Python community for developing this
great open platform for computational science. Devoting hard work
to open-source software sometimes requires personal sacrice, but it's
worth the effort. In particular, I would like to thank Fernando Perez,
creator of IPython, and all the development team for their awesome
work on this library. Also, we regular Matplotlib users are all deeply
grateful to its creator John Hunter, whose untimely passing in 2012 is
a tragedy for the whole community and beyond.
I would also like to thank the reviewers for their helpful comments
and suggestions. Finally, I am grateful to my family and Claire for
their support during the writing of this book.
