Book Description
This book introduces students with little or no prior programming experience to the art of computational problem solving using Python and various Python libraries,including PyLab. It provides students with skills that will enable them to make productive use of computational techniques,including some of the tools and techniques of data science for using computation to model and interpret data. The book is based on an MIT course (which became the most popular course offered through MIT's OpenCourseWare) and was developed for use not only in a conventional classroom but in in a massive open online course (MOOC). This new edition has been updated for Python 3,reorganized to make it easier to use for courses that cover only a subset of the material,and offers additional material including five new chapters.
Students are introduced to Python and the basics of programming in the context of such computational concepts and techniques as exhaustive enumeration,bisection search,and efficient approximation algorithms. Although it covers such traditional topics as computational complexity and simple algorithms,the book focuses on a wide range of topics not found in most introductory texts,including information visualization,simulations to model randomness,computational techniques to understand data,and statistical techniques that inform (and misinform) as well as two related but relatively advanced topics: optimization problems and dynamic programming. This edition offers expanded material on statistics and machine learning and new chapters on Frequentist and Bayesian statistics.

图书说明
本书介绍了具有很少或没有先前的编程经验的学生，使用Python和各种Python库（包括PyLab）来解决计算问题的技术。它为学生提供了能够使他们有效利用计算技术的技能，包括使用计算来建模和解释数据的数据科学的一些工具和技术。该书基于麻省理工学院课程（成为麻省理工学院开放式课程提供的最受欢迎课程），不仅在常规教室中开发，而且在大量开放式在线课程（MOOC）中开发。这个新版本已经为Python 3进行了更新，重新组织，使其更容易用于仅覆盖材料的一部分的课程，并提供了额外的材料，包括五个新章节。
学生被介绍到Python和编程的基础上，在诸如穷举枚举，平分搜索和高效近似算法之类的计算概念和技术的上下文中。虽然它涵盖了诸如计算复杂性和简单算法这样的传统主题，但是本书着重于大多数介绍性文本中没有发现的广泛主题，包括信息可视化，模型随机性的模拟，理解数据的计算技术以及通知（并误导）以及两个相关但相对较高级的课题: 优化问题和动态规划。本版本提供有关统计学和机器学习的扩展材料以及关于常数和贝叶斯统计的新章节。
