+SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics,
+science, and engineering.
+
+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.
+
+matplotlib and ipython are nice to have in connection with scipy, but scipy
+does not depend on them.
+
+Since ver. 0.14.0 scipy uses SuperLU instead of UMFPACK for solving unsymmetric
+sparse linear systems. If you want to use UMFPACK you must install it in advance
+of numpy and build numpy accordingly (see the README to numpy's SlackBuild).
+Moreover, after installing scipy, you have to install scikit-umfpack, which
+presently is not available on SlackBuilds.org.
+
+If you need to build scipy for debugging, set DEBUG=y.
+
+NOTE: If you use this SlackBuild scipy will run with the python 3 version
+ installed on your system. If you'd like to use python 2.7.xx as
+ provided by Slackware Linux then you have to install scipy.
