Description
Learn to explore algebra, statistics, and calculus using Python programming. This book shows you how to use Python to delve into high school-level math topics with simple projects that build up to more complex ones.
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. You can describe your data with statistics, visualize it with line graphs and bar charts, solve algebra problems using Python's symbolic math functions, and draw geometric shapes like the Barnsley fern and the Sierpinski triangle.
With creative coding challenges and applied examples, you'll see how to put your new math and coding skills into practice. You can write programs to find derivatives, integrate functions, and solve real-world problems like estimating the area of a circle by throwing virtual darts at a board.
