This course is about how to write and use a modern programming language to explore and solve problems in pure and applied mathematics. We will use Python, and the first part of the course will review core language features and apply them to problems in mathematics. We will introduce specialized mathematical packages such as numpy. The remainder of the course---and its goal---is to help students develop the skills to translate mathematical problems and solution techniques into algorithms and code. Students will use code to solve and explore mathematical questions in several project areas.
