The text covers the fundamentals of Python programming and the implementation of data structures using Python programming with the help of worked-out examples. It provides a learning tool for engineers as well as for researchers and scientists of advanced level. The text further discusses important concepts such as polynomial manipulation, sparse matrices, implementation of stack using the queue model and topological sorting. A programming language is a formal computer language that is used to send commands and data to a machine. Many languages were created with specific goals in mind, such as data processing and scientific calculations. The Python programming language is a very versatile language that can be used for both data processing and scientific calculations. It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering and information technology.
