If you're working with geotiffs, then you're right, numpy and GDAL are 
the way to go. I'd send this note to GDAL list. If your math gets more 
complicated, then the numpy list will be helpful.

You should be able to find a set of samples written in python called 
"python samples". Also, some of the utilities that come with GDAL are 
written in python -- they are a good place to start.
