This chapter explored special functions, integration, interpolation, and optimization through the corresponding modules (special, integrate, interpolate, and optimize), as well as discussed solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations.

In Chapter 5, SciPy for Signal Processing, we will describe the functionality of SciPy modules to analyze processes involving time series and spatial signals, including how to perform on numerical data the discrete Fourier transform, how to construct signals, how to apply filters on data, and how to interpolate images.
