Reviews

"This is an introduction to elementary linear algebra and analytical geometry with some code snippets and references to performing computations in Python - suitable for a first-year course for STEM students. ... Each chapter starts with the text developing the material, with concrete examples and worked calculations. ... The book also includes three appendices: very bare-bones intro to Python, a trigonometry cheat sheet, and the Greek alphabet." (Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson, SIGACT News, Vol. 55 (1), 2024)

"It is most interesting to combine a classical mathematical topic with a new evolving programming language and exactly this is obtained by this book. ... This material is used as a case study for their implementation for solving problems in theoretical and practical cryptography. The 'roadmap' of the content of this also quite interesting." (Panayiotis Vlamos, zbMATH 1480.00002, 2022)
