Our friend, colleague, and author of [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ matplotlib], John Hunter, passed away on August 28, 2012 at 10am. He was 44. It was little more than a month ago when John was our keynote speaker at SciPy 2012. He returned home to a diagnosis of cancer followed by a brutally short battle with this terrible illness. Fernando Perez’s [http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2012-August/017919.html fitting tribute] to his close friend highlights just how much impact John has had on all of our work and lives. John is survived by his wife Miriam, his three daughters Rahel, Ava and Clara, his sisters Layne and Mary, and his mother Sarah. If you have benefited from John's many contributions, please say thanks in the way that would matter most to him. Please consider making a donation to the '''[http://numfocus.org/johnhunter/ John Hunter Memorial Fund]'''. = Scientific Tools for Python = !SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular [http://conference.scipy.org conference] on scientific programming with Python. The !SciPy library depends on [http://numpy.scipy.org 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! ## Hack to get some vertical spacing {{{ #!rst | }}} ||SciPy is a community effort.
