The arithmetic, logic, algebra and discrete math behind everyday programming
The arithmetic, logic, algebra and discrete math behind everyday programming, built from first principles, with a From Concept to Code section that turns each idea into Python you can run.

Math & Logic for Coders builds the mathematics and logic that programming relies on, one small block at a time. It starts with order of operations, place value, the four operations, integers, factors and primes, exponents, roots, fractions, decimals and percentages, then covers statements, connectives, truth tables, conditionals, De Morgan's laws, quantifiers, sets and Boolean algebra. Later parts cover equations, functions, sequences and recurrence relations, modular arithmetic, relations and mappings, matrices and vectors, trigonometry, geometry including projections, collisions and graphs, calculus and number bases including binary. A final part teaches Python from the REPL and print() to small working programs.
Best for: Learners and working programmers who want the math and logic behind code, and to write Python while learning it.
Each chapter explains why an idea is true before showing how to use it, with definitions, worked examples in numbered steps, mental-math shortcuts and the common mistakes to avoid. A short quiz closes every chapter, with full answers at the end of the chapter, and a From Concept to Code section writes the same idea as Python you can run and check.
Why a rule exists, before you use it.
The precise meaning of a term or rule.
Problems solved in numbered steps. Try them first, then check.
Faster mental-math routes, and the traps to avoid.
A few questions per chapter, with full answers at the end of the chapter.
The same idea written as Python you can run yourself.
Five full pages from the PDF. Select a page to open it at full size.
Nothing beyond everyday arithmetic is assumed. The book starts with order of operations and builds every later idea on the ones before it. The Python sections are short programs you can type and run, and the final part teaches Python from the beginning.
Work through the parts in order: each one assumes the ones before it. Chapters are short, so one or two per sitting is a steady pace, and the quizzes are the check that you understood rather than finished fast.
