This book provides a unique tour of university mathematics with the help of Python. A typical mathematics university curriculum would include some element of programming, usually in a standalone module. However, in my experience teaching at several UK universities, students often regard programming as just another module that is disparate from a typical ‘pen-and-paper’ module. In my opinion, this is an extremely unhealthy viewpoint, because programming can often help us gain a more solid understanding of mathematics in comparison to a purely pen-and-paper approach. It is true that much of university mathematics is driven by theorems and proofs, and it is also true that Python does not prove theorems. However, Python gives us the power and freedom to glimpse into the unknown, leading us towards insightful conjectures that would have been difficult to formulate otherwise. Hence, I was motivated to write a mathematics textbook that is richly interwoven with Python, rather than another Python textbook with some mathematical examples. The spirit of this book is one of mathematical exploration and investigation. I want to show students that Python can hugely enrich our understanding of mathematics through.
