Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers

<b><i>Hardcore&#160;Programming&#160;for Mechanical Engineers</i> is for intermediate programmers who want to write good applications that solve tough engineering problems &#150; from scratch.</b><br><br>What if you could solve challenging engineering problems with Python programming? With this book&#146;s hardcore approach you&#146;ll learn how to code solutions from scratch using linear algebra geometry and physics to write custom libraries draw primitives and build applications.<br>&#160;<br>&#193;ngel Sola Orbaiceta covers core programming techniques for mechanical engineers with a focus on crafting high-quality code and leveraging automated unit testing for error-free implementations. You&#146;ll develop a geometry toolbox filling it with lines and shapes to diagram engineering problems; create vector graphics and animations for mechanical simulations; and code algorithms to perform complex calculations. As a capstone you&#146;ll combine these lessons to build a complete structural analysis application to solve a 2D truss problem that you might encounter in the field.<br>&#160;<br>Learn how to:<br><li>Use regular expressions to elegantly parse file input</li><li>Refine your code with unit testing encapsulation and descriptive names</li><li>Draw images onscreen and create animations with Tkinter&#146;s Canvas widget</li><li>Solve systems of linear equations using the Cholesky decomposition algorithm</li><li>Build an application that visualizes a truss structure&#146;s stresses and strains</li>&#160;<br>Stop relying on third-party software&#151;there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. With<i> Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers</i> you&#146;ll hone your programming skills to get correct results every time.<br>
