Quick Python 3
Are you a programmer who wants to get started quickly in a new language? This book is for you.Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you. Are you a Python programmer who needs encyclopaedic information? This book is not for you.Like any mainstream language, Python has loops, if statements, assignment statements, functions, etc. I’ll show you what these look like in Python. I won’t waste your time telling you what they’re good for. Python has features you may not be familiar with--iterators, list comprehensions, maybe even dictionaries. I’ll spend more time on these. I’ll cover some of the library functions I found most immediately useful, and tell you where to find more. In short, this book will help you hit the ground running. Next week, you’ll be ready to buy that Python encyclopaedia.

Painful Truth
'An enthralling read' - Dr Rachel Clarke, bestselling author of Dear LifeA Royal Society Science Prize shortlisted author'A remarkable book' - Sunday TimesWhat is phantom limb pain? Can words actually hurt? Why do we experience pain, even after we've healed?We know pain when we feel it. We fear it and try to avoid it. But do we know what it really is? We're currently experiencing a Renaissance in pain science. In recent years our understanding of pain has altered so radically it's fair to say that everything we thought we knew about pain is wrong. As Dr Monty Lyman reveals, we misunderstand pain - with harmful consequences.Exploring cutting-edge research that encompasses everything from phantom aches to persistent pain, as well as interviews with survivors of torture and those who have never felt pain, Dr Lyman not only provides hope for reducing and managing pain but takes us to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.This is the untold story of pain - our most elusive feeling.'Accessible and well-written... Dr Lyman takes us into the world of pain' Mail on SundayPraise for Monty Lyman and The Remarkable Life of the Skin - 'Seriously entertaining' The Times- 'A talented new writer' Sunday Times - 'Beautifully written, revealing and surprising' Daily Mail- 'Imaginatively told' The Spectator- 'An absorbing, fact-packed study' Nature- 'What a read it is' Vogue- 'Fascinating' Daily Express

Simple Introduction to Python
A Simple Introduction to Python is aimed at pre-university students and complete novices to programming. The whole book has been created using Jupyter notebooks. After introducing Python as a powerful calculator, simple programming constructs are covered, and the NumPy, MatPlotLib and SymPy modules (libraries) are introduced. Python is then used for Mathematics, Cryptography, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Object Oriented Programming.The reader is shown how to program using the integrated development environments: Python IDLE, Spyder, Jupyter notebooks, and through cloud computing with Google Colab.Features:No prior experience in programming is required.Demonstrates how to format Jupyter notebooks for publication on the Web.Full solutions to exercises are available as a Jupyter notebook on the Web.All Jupyter notebook solution files can be downloaded through GitHub.GitHub Repository of Data Files and a Jupyter Solution notebook: https://github.com/proflynch/A-Simple-Introduction-to-PythonJupyter Solution notebook web page: https://drstephenlynch.github.io/webpages/A-Simple-Introduction-to-Python-Solutions.html
