MetaSci

Registered 2010-05-06 by scopatz

MetaSci is a Python package that started as a collection of helpful scientifically-oriented functions and then ballooned. It is meant as a library of commonly used parts of other codes as well as adding additional functionality not included in other scientific packages.

The documentation for MetaSci may be found at:

Due to its fuzzy definition, the term ‘metascience’ is often used to discuss spiritual and existential matters. Please see http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/index.php?date=020610 This connotation is used as a pun here. (MetaSci, where the magic happens!)

MetaSci currently has the following dependencies:
1. SciPy,
2. NumPy,
3. MatPlotLib, and
4. PyTables.

Moreover, MetaSci contains the following sub-modules:
1. metasci – MetaSci Base Module,
2. metasci.data – Scientific Data Module,
3. metasci.graph – MatPlotLib Helper Functions,
4. metasci.mathematics – General Mathematics,
5. metasic.mathematics.polynomial – An N-Dimensional Polynomial,
6. metasci.nuke – General Nuclear Package,
7. metasci.nuke.IsoName – Isotopic Naming Package,
