Doing math with python (No Starch Press,US)

Doing Math with Python teaches readers how to use the Python programming language as a powerful tool to delve into math concepts. Python is perfect for exploring topics like statistics, geometry, probability, and calculus. Readers learn to write programs to find derivatives, solve equations graphically, manipulate algebraic expressions, even examine projectile motion. Instead of cranking through tedious calculations aby hand, readers learn to use Python to do the number crunching so that they can focus on the principles behind the math. Along the way, readers learn to think computationally and employ fundamental programming techniques, like using functions, handling user input, and reading and manipulating data. This is a perfect book for teens with an interest in math but who have yet to be turned on to programming. Doing Math with Python will give them a powerful skillset to continue learning and§exploring math and computer science.
