Reviews / Votes
"We have entered an era where learning Python is as essential as knowing the analytical skills of mathematics, and so from students to teachers, Math Adventures with Python is an indispensable book for all."-Gabrielle Birkman, Mathematician and Writer
"Peter Farrell subverts the structure of a traditional math textbook and adopts an approach centered on student creation and discovery. Rather than treating mathematical facts as symbolic formalism to be mindlessly imitated by students, Math Adventures with Python seeks to teach mathematics through guided discovery. "
-Dr. Tien Chih, Professor of Mathematics, Montana State University-Billings
"If you're a mathy type and want to get into some computer programming, or if you're a computer person but want to learn what kinds of math you can do with code, Math Adventures with Python will help you achieve those goals."
-Jenny Bristol, GeekDad
