Description:
Scipy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. The core library is NumPy which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. 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.

yum info scipy
This command will show you core information about the scipy package.
yum deplist scipy
This command will show you the dependencies for scipy. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update scipy
This command will check if there is an update waiting on scipy. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
