资源说明：This book’s goal is to bring together three
topics near to my heart—programming,
math, and science. What does that mean
exactly? Within these pages, we’ll programmatically
explore high school–level topics, like manipulating
units of measurement; examining projectile motion;
calculating mean, median, and mode; determining linear correlation;
solving algebraic equations; describing the motion of a simple pendulum;
simulating dice games; creating geometric shapes; and finding the limits,
derivatives, and integrals of functions. These are familiar topics for many,
but instead of using pen and paper, we’ll use our computer to explore them.
We’ll write programs that will take numbers and formulas as input, do
the tedious calculations needed, and then spit out the solution or draw a
graph. Some of these programs are powerful calculators for solving math
problems. They find the solutions to equations, calculate the correlation
between sets of data, and determine the maximum value of a function,

xvi Introduction
among other tasks. In other programs, we’ll simulate real-life events, such
as projectile motion, a coin toss, or a die roll. Using programs to simulate
such events gives us an easy way to analyze and learn more about them.
