For courses in Python Programming

Now in its 3rd Edition, Practice of Computing Using Python continues to introduce both majors and non-majors taking CS1 courses to computational thinking using Python, with a strong emphasis on problem solving through computer science. The authors have chosen Python for its simplicity, powerful built-in data structures, advanced control constructs, and practicality. The text is built from the ground up for Python programming, rather than having been translate...

De geometrische fout van het Atomium? Een omgekeerde 400 meter? Een Fibonacci-beeld in (De) Panne? Deze onderwerpen komen misschien bekend voor, maar in dit boek staan de échte verhalen uit eerste hand en 'unplugged'. De wiskunde verruimt er zich van zuiver wiskundige onderwerpen, over een hoofd dat verdween in de Antwerpse Carnotstraat of de wiskundige grens van de waarheid, tot meer kunstzinnige toepassingen, van wiskundige poëzie over Stromae tot de verboden vrucht van het Lam Gods.Over ...

Clouddiensten zijn niet meer weg te denken uit het bedrijfsleven. Toch zijn er nog steeds veel vraagtekens. Wat is cloud computing nu precies? Welke soorten en vormen zijn er (met hun specifieke voor- en nadelen) en op welke manier kan het een positieve bijdrage leveren aan de bedrijfsvoering van grote en kleine bedrijven? De 'cloud' belooft kostenbesparingen (betalen voor gebruik), eenvoudiger beheer en vrijwel onbeperkte capaciteit (zoals rekenkracht en opslag). Maar er zijn ook diverse sc...

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python will teach you how to make computer games using the popular Python programming language—even if you've never programmed before!

Begin by building classic games like Hangman, Guess the Number, and Tic-Tac-Toe, and then work your way up to more advanced games, like a text-based treasure hunting game and an animated collision-dodging game with sound effects. Along the way, you'll learn key programming and math concepts that will help you take...

Calculations in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Third Edition, helps researchers utilizing molecular biology and biotechnology techniques-from student to professional-understand which type of calculation to use and why. Research in biotechnology and molecular biology requires a vast amount of calculations. Results of one data set become the basis of the next.

An error of choosing the wrong type of equation can turn what would have been a successful research project or weeks of labor and ...
