Doing Math with Python shows you how to use
Python to delve into high school–level math topics
like statistics, geometry, probability, and calculus.
You’ll start with simple projects, like a factoring
program and a quadratic-equation solver, and then
create more complex projects once you’ve gotten
the hang of things.
Along the way, you’ll discover new ways to explore
math and gain valuable programming skills that you’ll
use throughout your study of math and computer
science. Learn how to:
• Describe your data with statistics, and visualize it
with line graphs, bar charts, and scatter plots
• Explore set theory and probability with programs for
coin flips, dicing, and other games of chance
• Solve algebra problems using Python’s symbolic math
functions
• Draw geometric shapes and explore fractals like
the Barnsley fern, the Sierpin´ski triangle, and the
Mandelbrot set
• 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. You’ll write an inequality solver, plot
gravity’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 you’re interested in math but have yet to dip
into programming or you’re a teacher looking to bring
programming into the classroom, you’ll find that Python
makes programming easy and practical. Let Python
handle the grunt work while you focus on the math.

Summary: "Uses the Python programming language as a tool to explore high school-level mathematics
like statistics, geometry, probability, and calculus by writing programs to find derivatives, solve
equations graphically, manipulate algebraic expressions, and examine projectile motion. Covers
programming concepts including using functions, handling user input, and reading and manipulating
data"-- Provided by publisher.
