Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers

INTRODUCTION

Knowing how to write code empowers you to solve complex problems. By harnessing the capabilities of modern CPUs, which can accomplish billions of operations per second, we can quickly and correctly work out the solutions to difficult problems.

This is a book about solving engineering problems with Python. We’ll learn how to code geometric primitives that will serve as the basis of more complex operations, how to read and write from files, how to create vector images and animated sequences to present the results, and how to solve large systems of linear equations. Finally, we’ll put all this knowledge together to build an application ...
