Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers

<p>Angel 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'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'll combine these lessons to build a complete structural analysis application to solve a 2D truss problem that you might encounter in the field.</p> <p>Learn how to:</p> <ul> <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'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's stresses and strains</li> </ul> <p>Stop relying on third-party software&mdash;there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. With<em> Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers</em>, you'll hone your programming skills to get correct results every time.</p>
