A collection of tools for doing physics problems
Clone the project into a folder named utils. Then, from any Python3 code, import the package utils as you would any other local package.
The whole package is sub-divided into several categories:
- Number: Overrides float and complex datatypes with versions that implement equality with tolerance to floating-point error, and print out in scientific notation by default.
- Quantity: Implements unit-aware calculations, tracking and converting units, including verifying dimensional compatibility, across calculations automatically. Includes definitions for all SI base units, and all the units I've used so far.
- Constants: Definitions for physics constants, appended to as I come across them. All are implemented as Quantities (i.e., have units attached).
- Computation: Routines for more complex computations, like numerically-stable Kahan summation and an adaptive integration routine. Compatible with purely numerical or Quantity inputs.
- Graphics: Visualization tools, like a utility for making animated line plots.
- Evolution: Special-purpose submodule for evolving a wavefunction according to the Schrödinger equation (free or under a potential).
