Summary

Part of the Youth Artificial Intelligence Learning Series, this book uses the most basic mathematical problems as its thread, explaining the key points and ways of thinking of Python programming through runnable program examples, from simple to advanced. The book is built around 15 types of elementary mathematics problems; each example includes a programming-skills radar chart, a problem description, the required mathematical knowledge points and programming knowledge points, followed by problem analysis, program design ideas, and actual output. From the second example onward, each chapter ends with a "Challenge Yourself" section that poses extension questions and provides reference programs, encouraging readers to modify and generalize. An opening chapter is devoted to environment setup, explaining how to install Python and how to write and run programs, so that complete beginners can start right away. The mathematical problems chosen are close to everyday understanding, allowing readers to grasp variables, conditionals, loops, functions, and other programming concepts within familiar mathematical contexts, while practicing the process of abstracting real problems into mathematical models and breaking them into program steps, thereby building early computational and structured thinking. The book is concise, about 124 pages, suitable as an introductory programming reader for young people and for information technology teachers and parents guiding children's self-study.

Editor's review

很多编程入门书先铺开一堆语法概念：变量、列表、循环、函数……读者啃完仍然不敢面对空白的编辑器。这本书走的是相反的路：先给一个读者从小就熟悉的数学问题，告诉他解决它需要哪些数学知识和编程知识，然后一起分析、设计、运行，最后看到结果。作者王振世有多年通信行业工程实践背景，擅长用比喻和通俗语言讲复杂技术，因此书中的讲解几乎没有“术语墙”。每个实例配的能力雷达图，能让学习者直观看到这道题在锻炼什么能力；“挑战自我”环节则把读者从“照着抄”推向“自己改”。全书 15 个实例、112 千字、124 页，薄而不空，非常适合作为第一本编程书——它教的不只是 Python，而是“把问题变成程序”的思考方式。

Who it's for

A good fit for

10 岁以上、具备小学高年级数学基础的青少年编程初学者
希望用案例教学法带孩子入门 Python 的家长和信息技术教师
学过语法但不会独立写程序、需要项目练手的自学者
想了解“数学与编程如何结合”的师范生与教育从业者

Not a good fit for

已具备 Python 基础、想深入数据科学或算法竞赛的读者
需要系统语法手册或完整参考文档的程序员
期待覆盖初中以上进阶数学内容的中学生

Reading tips

先按第 0 章把 Python 装好并能运行第一个程序，不要跳过环境准备。
每读一个实例，先自己动手敲一遍代码，再对照书中的程序设计与运行结果。
遇到“挑战自我”不要急着翻参考程序，先限时独立尝试，再比较思路差异。
建议按章节顺序推进，一章一个实例，配合固定时间练习，避免只看不写。

FAQ

这本书适合零基础的孩子自学吗？

可以。第 0 章专门讲 Python 的安装和程序运行方法，实例从“比较大小”这样简单的题目起步，只要具备小学高年级的数学基础，跟着敲代码就能上手；低龄读者建议家长或老师陪同。

需要提前掌握哪些数学知识？

书中的题目围绕初级数学问题设计，主要用到比较大小、分类判断、累加、简单运算等基础内容，不需要代数或函数知识，重点在于把熟悉的数学过程转化为程序步骤。

全书包含多少个程序实例？

全书共 15 个类型的数学问题及对应的 Python 编程解决实例，从实例 2 开始每章附有“挑战自我”延伸题和参考程序，可作额外练习。

这本书用的是 Python 2 还是 Python 3？

书中出版于 2019 年，环境准备章节讲解的是当时主流的 Python 安装与运行方式；具体版本细节建议以实体书第 0 章为准，安装时选择 Python 3 一般可直接运行书中示例。

书里的目录能直接在网页上看到吗？

电子工业出版社官网和国家出版发行信息公共服务平台均提供了该书的内容简介与部分目录信息，可先浏览目录判断是否符合需求，再决定是否购买。

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.
