Math for Programmers: 3D graphics, machine learning, and simulations with Python

A good book which I enjoyed reading and working through the examples with GCSE students in the top maths group.One small complaint - the printed book comes with a free ebook which is in black and white. I have also seen the same ebook in colour, which is much much better. I guess the colour one is if you pay the enormous cost for the ebook instead of just the free version.Do not buy the ebook unless you get the full colour version.Do not buy this book if you know maths at A-level or beyond.Otherwise, this is a really good and well written book that makes complex problems simple through computing examples.

This book is bigger than number of pages as jam packed with details, which are clear and easy comprehensive.

Me enseño lo que nadie pudo en mi vida estudiantil. Explicar el por que se usan las cosas y en que contexto.

It is a very nice book, to enjoy of reading. It would be better with color images asin the pdf book.

This is not a good book to learn Math.The author unnecessarily writes python code to create his own python modules.It is not necessary, and actually confusing.For example, the author creates a module called draw3d. This module does not work either.It produces an error message. Indeed, the other python scripts provided by the author do not work either.I wish the author had run these python programs before publishing his book.Python provides a native module for this purpose:from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3Dimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltfrom matplotlib import cmfrom matplotlib.ticker import LinearLocator, FormatStrFormatterimport numpy as npfig = plt.figure()ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')# Make data.X = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.25)Y = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.25)X, Y = np.meshgrid(X, Y)R = np.sqrt(X**2 + Y**2)Z = np.sin(R)# Plot the surface.surf = ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, cmap=cm.coolwarm, linewidth=0, antialiased=False)# Customize the z axis.ax.set_zlim(-1.01, 1.01)ax.zaxis.set_major_locator(LinearLocator(10))ax.zaxis.set_major_formatter(FormatStrFormatter('%.02f'))# Add a color bar which maps values to colors.fig.colorbar(surf, shrink=0.5, aspect=5)plt.show()###################################I would have give only a single star. I gave two stars because of the author's effort to produce a book.The author also does not describe how to set up a python environment.
