Książka Matematyczne przygody z Pythonem pokaże, jak za pomocą narzędzi programistycznych sprawić, że nauka stanie się praktyczniejsza i ciekawsza. Korzystając z języka programowania Python, nauczysz się wizualizować rozwiązania różnych problemów matematycznych, używając kodu do studiowania kluczowych dziedzin matematyki, takich jak algebra, trygonometria, macierze i automaty komórkowe. Po opanowaniu podstaw programowania, takich jak pętle czy zmienne, napiszesz własny program do szybkiego rozwiązywania równań, osiągania ciekawych efektów, takich jak kolorowanie siatki tęczą za pomocą myszy, a także automatyzowania żmudnych zadań, takich jak obliczanie silni liczb czy znajdowanie pierwiastków kwadratowych. Nauczysz się pisać funkcje do rysowania i przekształcania figur, tworzenia oscylujących fal sinusoidalnych oraz graficznego rozwiązywania równań. Ponadto dowiesz się jak: rysować i przekształcać dwuwymiarowe i trójwymiarowe obiekty graficzne przy użyciu macierzy, rysować kolorowe wzory, takie jak zbiory Mandelbrota czy Julii za pomocą liczb zespolonych, używać rekurencji do tworzenia fraktali, takich jak płatek Kocha czy trójkąt Sierpińskiego, generować wirtualne owce, które skubią trawę i rozmnażają się, łamać tajne kody za pomocą algorytmów genetycznych. Wykonując zamieszczone w tej książce liczne przykłady i ćwiczenia o rosnącym poziomie trudności, będziesz programować własne rozwiązania i tworzyć piękne wizualizacje, a przy okazji zobaczysz, o ile ciekawsza może być nauka matematyki!
