Sinossi

The least you need to know to program in Python, one of the easiest and most powerful programming languages.

Python is easy. It’s used in the classroom as a teaching language for children who’ve never programmed before, yet it’s one of the few languages that approaches the power and flexibility of Lisp. And Python is fun. It’s supposed to be, it was named after Monte Python, the British comedy troupe.

In this book, you will find:

  • Iterating through lists ('for' statements)
  • List functions
  • List comprehensions
  • Slice operations on lists and arrays
  • Booleans for branching ('if' statements)
  • Reading text in files and spread sheets
  • Strings: parse words and turn text to numbers
  • Sets: union, intersect, and eliminate duplicates
  • Write your own functions
  • Random number generators
  • Regular expressions for pattern recognition
  • Matrix operations and linear algebra
  • Image processing
  • Debugging and error handling

This is an excellent first text for high school students who’ve never programmed before, but it's also suitable for engineering or financial analysts who want to do modeling and simulation on their own.
