Does this have anything specifically to do with Python programming?
If not, why are you asking here? Do you think that Python programmers are
especially well-known for their hard-core formal academic methodology?
Have you tried searching on Google Scholar?
We're pretty accepting of off-topic posts here, especially when they evolve
naturally from an on-topic post. But in future, if you're going to *start* an
off-topic thread from the first post, it would be polite to label it such
with an "[OT]" or "Off-topic" prefix to the subject line.
