Doing Math with Python
shows you how to use Python to delve into high school–level math topics like
statistics, geometry, probability, and calculus. You’ll start with simple
projects, like a factoring program and a quadratic-equation solver, and then
create more complex projects once you’ve gotten the hang of things.
Along the way, you’ll discover new ways to explore math and gain valuable
programming skills that you’ll use throughout your study of math and computer
science. Learn how to:
–Describe your data with statistics, and visualize it with line graphs, bar
charts, and scatter plots
–Explore set theory and probability with programs for coin flips, dicing, and
other games of chance
–Solve algebra problems using Python’s symbolic math functions
–Draw geometric shapes and explore fractals like the Barnsley fern, the
Sierpinski triangle, and the Mandelbrot set
–Write programs to find derivatives and integrate functions
Creative coding challenges and applied examples help you see how you can put
your new math and coding skills into practice. You’ll write an inequality
solver, plot gravity’s effect on how far a bullet will travel, shuffle a deck
of cards, estimate the area of a circle by throwing 100,000 "darts" at a
board, explore the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden
ratio, and more.
Whether you’re interested in math but have yet to dip into programming or
you’re a teacher looking to bring programming into the classroom, you’ll find
that Python makes programming easy and practical. Let Python handle the grunt
work while you focus on the math.
