Practical Tools for Scientific Computation and Visualisation

Provides utilities for scientific computation and visualisation, with an emphasis on applications in physics and astrophysics. Functionality includes random sampling from spherical and custom distributions, information and entropy analysis, Fourier transforms, two-point correlation estimation, binning and gridding of point sets, two-dimensional interpolation, Monte Carlo integration, vector operations, coordinate transformations, physical constants, and cosmological conversions. Graphics tools support the creation and export of publication-quality plots, animations, colour scales, map projections, and bitmap images. Several of these tools were used by Obreschkow et al. (2020) .
