Use Programming to Explore Algebra, Statistics, Calculus, and More!
A hands-on guide to learning Python by using it to solve real math problems. Instead of dry exercises, you write programs that graph data, crunch statistics, solve equations, work with probability, draw fractals and even find derivatives and integrals.
Great for high school and college students, teachers, self-learners and anyone who knows a little Python and wants a fun, practical way to build their skills while brushing up on math.
Chapters cover:
Working with numbers
Visualizing data with graphs (matplotlib)
Describing data with statistics
Algebra and symbolic math with SymPy
Sets and probability
Drawing geometric shapes and fractals
Working with mathematical functions (calculus)
Appendices on setup, Python basics and solutions to the challenges
