This is the second video in the Solving ATEs Supplement to SCoRE, a Self-Study Course on Reaction Engineering (https://buffalobadger.github.io/SCoRE/). SCoRE is based on the online book, “Reaction Engineering Basics” (https://buffalobadger.github.io/RE_Basics/).
This video describes how to use the Python function, optimize.root, from the scipy library, to solve sets of ATEs. It then solves the set of ATEs from the example introduced in the first video.
