This repository holds the companion code for "A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics," a book aimed at people who already know how to program but want to develop a real understanding of mathematical ideas. Each chapter in the book has an application that puts the concepts into practice, and this repository provides all of the Python code for those applications. Readers can clone the repository and run the code while working through the book. All code is written in Python 3. The setup process follows standard Python conventions: create a virtual environment using virtualenv, activate it, then install the listed requirements with pip. This keeps the project's dependencies isolated from anything else on your machine. A test suite is included. Running pytest from the project directory executes the tests. If you want to see which parts of the code the tests cover, pytest can produce a coverage report in HTML format or as annotated source files, both of which make it easy to spot gaps. For readers who prefer not to install Python locally, a Dockerfile is provided. Two commands are enough to build an image and start a container with the project ready to use. The README is short and covers only setup, testing, and the Docker option. There is no description of the mathematical topics themselves, no chapter list, and no usage examples beyond the setup commands. The book at pimbook.org is where the explanations live. This repository is only the runnable code that accompanies it. Corrections and bug fixes are welcome via pull requests.
