Doing Math with Python

<i>Doing Math with Python</i> shows you how to use Python to delve into high school&#150;level math topics like statistics geometry probability and calculus. You&#146;ll start with simple projects like a factoring program and a quadratic-equation solver and then create more complex projects once you&#146;ve gotten the hang of things.<br><br>Along the way you&#146;ll discover new ways to explore math and gain valuable programming skills that you&#146;ll use throughout your study of math and computer science. Learn how to:<br>&#150;Describe your data with statistics and visualize it with line graphs bar charts and scatter plots<br>&#150;Explore set theory and probability with programs for coin flips dicing and other games of chance<br>&#150;Solve algebra problems using Python&#146;s symbolic math functions<br>&#150;Draw geometric shapes and explore fractals like the Barnsley fern the Sierpinski triangle and the Mandelbrot set<br>&#150;Write programs to find derivatives and integrate functions<br><br>Creative coding challenges and applied examples help you see how you can put your new math and coding skills into practice. You&#146;ll write an inequality solver plot gravity&#146;s effect on how far a bullet will travel shuffle a deck of cards estimate the area of a circle by throwing 100000 darts at a board explore the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio and more.<br><br>Whether you&#146;re interested in math but have yet to dip into programming or you&#146;re a teacher looking to bring programming into the classroom you&#146;ll find that Python makes programming easy and practical. Let Python handle the grunt work while you focus on the math.<br><br><b>Uses Python 3</b>
