SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. If you need to manipulate numbers on a computer and display or publish the results, give SciPy a try!

NumPy and SciPy are two of many open-source packages for scientific computing that use the Python programming language. This website, together with other subdomains of the scipy.org domain, serves as a portal for all scientific computing with Python, not just NumPy and SciPy. The index under Topical Software in the navigation bar lists these domains and other destinations for scientific software using Python.
