Summary

Python Programming and Geometric Figures is an introductory Python book for young beginners. Rather than following the grammatical structure of traditional programming textbooks, it is organized around ten drawing examples of increasing difficulty, interweaving mathematical concepts with programming concepts: starting from the most basic 'point,' it proceeds through a colorful dot pattern, a triangle, stacked triangles, a square composite figure, a square with an inscribed circle, a polygonal flower basket, a figure made of five-pointed stars, a flower made of arcs, and finally a function curve. Each example follows a fixed structure—task description, mathematical concepts, programming concepts, task analysis, program design, running results, divergent thinking, challenge yourself, reference program, and chapter summary—so that readers naturally master core programming concepts such as variables, loops, conditions, coordinate calculation, angle calculation, and function encapsulation while completing visible, modifiable, and playable graphic works, and are introduced to common methods of the turtle and math libraries. The book includes color images showing running results, plus categorized explanations of common functions in the turtle and math libraries and reference drawing examples. At about 147,000 characters and 151 pages, it is positioned as 'using programming to solve mathematical problems,' helping readers begin to build the thinking of mathematical modeling, program analysis, and program design; it is not a grammar manual.

Editor's review

市面上多数Python入门书从“打印一句话”开始，编者自己看几页都想合上，孩子更难坚持。《Python编程与几何图形》换了思路：让每个知识点都立刻变成屏幕上的一个图形。点、线、圆、五角星、花篮、函数曲线，10个实例层层加码，学完一个就能看到成果，学习反馈极短，这正是初学者最需要的东西。本书的编排也值得称道：每个实例固定包含任务描述、数学知识点、编程知识点、任务分析、程序设计、运行结果、发散思考与挑战自我，看似模板化，实际上是把“读题—拆解—建模—编码—验证—拓展”的完整思维链固化成习惯。它刻意淡化语法罗列，转而强调“为什么这样算、为什么这样写”，对数学和编程都有兼顾。书中知识点覆盖变量、循环、条件判断、列表、坐标与角度运算、函数封装，以及turtle与math两个常用库，附录的函数速查对实际动手很有帮助。装帧为16开彩印，运行结果直观清晰。若家里有正学小学初中几何的孩子，或你是想通过图形项目带学生入门的老师，这本薄书是很好的起点——前提是愿意亲手敲代码，而不是只看不练。

Who it's for

A good fit for

具备小学高年级至初中几何基础、想入门Python的学生
希望用图形化项目激发孩子编程兴趣的家长
中小学信息技术、STEM与人工智能社团课教师
Python零基础但偏好“边做边学”的成人自学者

Not a good fit for

想系统学习Python语法体系与工程实践的读者
已有较扎实编程基础、寻求进阶内容的开发者
希望阅读纯代码速查手册、不愿动手练习的人

Reading tips

先按“环境准备”装好Python，再逐章手敲代码，改参数观察图形变化。
每章读完先合上书独立完成“挑战自我”，再对照参考程序找差异。
数学基础较弱时，先看“数学知识点”部分，把角度和坐标算清楚再写代码。
建议配合家长的陪伴，每次学习控制在半小时到一小时，保持节奏。

FAQ

这本书适合完全没学过编程的孩子吗？

适合。本书定位就是Python入门，假设读者具备小学到初中几何知识，但不预设任何编程基础，从安装Python和画一个点开始讲起。年龄较小的读者建议在老师或家长辅导下学习。

书里用的是哪个Python库来画图？

主要使用Python标准库中的turtle（海龟绘图）以及math数学库，附录还提供了这两个库常用函数的分类说明和turtle画图参考实例，无需额外安装第三方图形库。

需要先学好几何才能读吗？

不需要系统学过。书中每个实例都单列“数学知识点”，把用到的角度、坐标、对称等概念先讲清楚，再进入编程，适合边学几何边学编程。

这本书有配套的代码资源吗？

有。电子工业出版社华信教育资源网为本书提供了配套程序源代码下载资源，书末也附有各实例的参考程序，可与自己的实现对照学习。

About the author

王振世 Author

Wang Zhenshi: publicly available information is limited, and he is currently known only as the author of one work, Practical Wireless Communications Essentials: A Beginner's Guide (Second Edition), which is classified under Industrial Technology. Judging from the title and subtitle, the book is aimed at beginners in wireless communications. Organized around the idea of "essentials one should know and be able to apply," it gathers the basic concepts and practical points that newcomers need to master. The word "practical" in the title suggests an application-oriented approach rather than purely theoretical exposition. The existence of a second edition also indicates that the first edition found a certain readership, prompting the author to revise and supplement the content. Because the library holds only this one book, the author's educational background, professional identity, and research interests cannot be confirmed, and his writing style can only be described in terms of this volume: it follows the cognitive order of beginners, strives for plain language, and avoids piling up formulas and jargon so that readers with no prior knowledge can progress step by step. A beginner-oriented technical book of this kind helps lower the barrier to reading in the highly specialized field of communications and lays a foundation for further study.
