商品描述
Python for Mathematics introduces readers to effective methods for doing mathematics using the Python programming language. Most programming texts introduce readers to the building blocks of programming and build up to using more sophisticated tools for a specific purpose, like doing particular mathematical tasks. This is akin to teaching someone how to forge metal so as to make a nail, and then slowly working up to using sophisticated power tools so as to actually build something. This book does things in a different way, by first getting readers to begin using and understanding the tools that are going to be helpful to them as mathematicians, and only then moving onto the granular details. In this way, the practical application of the tools can aid in the understanding of the theory.
Features
- Complete with engaging, practical exercises
- Many useful and detailed coding examples
- Suitable for undergraduates in mathematics, and other quantitative sciences
- Empowers readers to design and create their own Python tools.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
**Python 數學應用** 介紹讀者使用 Python 程式語言進行數學運算的有效方法。大多數程式設計書籍會先介紹程式設計的基本構件，然後逐步引導讀者使用更複雜的工具來完成特定的任務，例如執行特定的數學運算。這就像教導某人如何鍛造金屬以製作釘子，然後再慢慢引導他們使用複雜的電動工具來實際建造某樣東西。本書則採取不同的方式，首先讓讀者開始使用並理解對他們作為數學家有幫助的工具，然後再深入細節。這樣，工具的實際應用可以幫助理解理論。
**特色**
- 附有引人入勝的實用練習
- 許多有用且詳細的程式碼範例
- 適合數學及其他定量科學的本科生
- 使讀者能夠設計和創建自己的 Python 工具。
