Doing Math with Python: Use Programming to Explore Algebra, Statistics, Calculus, and More!

Doing Math with Python shows you how to use Python to delve into high schoolâ€“level math topics like statistics, geometry, probability, and calculus. Youâ€™ll start with simple projects, like a factoring program and a quadratic-equation solver, and then create more complex projects once youâ€™ve gotten the hang of things.

Along the way, youâ€™ll discover new ways to explore math and gain valuable programming skills that youâ€™ll use throughout your study of math and computer science. Learn how to:
â€“Describe your data with statistics, and visualize it with line graphs, bar charts, and scatter plots
â€“Explore set theory and probability with programs for coin flips, dicing, and other games of chance
â€“Solve algebra problems using Pythonâ€™s symbolic math functions
â€“Draw geometric shapes and explore fractals like the Barnsley fern, the Sierpinski triangle, and the Mandelbrot set
â€“Write programs to find derivatives and integrate functions

Creative coding challenges and applied examples help you see how you can put your new math and coding skills into practice. Youâ€™ll write an inequality solver, plot gravityâ€™s effect on how far a bullet will travel, shuffle a deck of cards, estimate the area of a circle by throwing 100,000 "darts" at a board, explore the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio, and more.

Whether youâ€™re interested in math but have yet to dip into programming or youâ€™re a teacher looking to bring programming into the classroom, youâ€™ll find that Python makes programming easy and practical. Let Python handle the grunt work while you focus on the math.
