Python: A Mathematical Approach (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783032362193)

David Nacin is a professor of mathematics at William Paterson University, where he also serves as director of the M.S. in Applied Mathematics graduate program. He received his Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 2005. His research interests include non-commutative algebra, discrete mathematics, and recreational mathematics. A Python enthusiast, David employs coding extensively for research, teaching, and personal enjoyment. His proficiency in programming has led him to restructure the curriculum in his department, making Python a requirement and incorporating the language into several existing classes. David also enjoys designing and studying puzzles related to partition identities, the motion of chess pieces, finite groups, and other mathematical structures. His interest in puzzles led him to author the books Math-Infused Sudoku, published by the American Mathematical Society in 2019, and The Group Theory Puzzle Book, published by Springer in 2024. Since 2016 he has maintained a puzzle blog at quadratablog.blogspot.com.
