Overview
Along the way, youāll discover new ways to explore math and gain valuable programming skills that youāll use throughout your study of math and computer science. Learn how to:
āDescribe your data with statistics, and visualize it with line graphs, bar charts, and scatter plots
āExplore set theory and probability with programs for coin flips, dicing, and other games of chance
āSolve algebra problems using Pythonās symbolic math functions
āDraw geometric shapes and explore fractals like the Barnsley fern, the Sierpinski triangle, and the Mandelbrot set
āWrite 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. Youāll write an inequality solver, plot gravityās 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 youāre interested in math but have yet to dip into programming or youāre a teacher looking to bring programming into the classroom, youāll find that Python makes programming easy and practical. Let Python handle the grunt work while you focus on the math.
