Study Notes
Python Maths Basics
- Python is picky about the type of numbers it likes to work with, specifically integers (whole numbers) and floating-point numbers (decimal point numbers).
- Python has a built-in math module that provides various functions for mathematical operations.
Min and Max Functions
- The
minandmaxfunctions can be used to find the lowest or highest value in a list. - Example:
x = min(10, 100, 1000)andy = max(5, 10, 25)returns the minimum and maximum values in the lists.
Pow Function
- The
powfunction returns the value of x to the power of y. - Example:
pow(5, 4)returns the value of 5 to the power of 4, which is equivalent to 5 * 5 * 5 * 5.
Sum Function
- The
sumfunction returns the sum of all the elements in a list. - Example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]andprint(sum(my_list))returns the sum of the elements in the list.
Round Function
- The
roundfunction rounds a number to the nearest integer or a specified number of decimal places. - Example:
print(round(3.14159, 2))returns the value of Pi rounded to 2 decimal places.
Importing Math Library
- To use advanced math functions, you need to import the
mathlibrary. - Example:
import mathallows you to use functions likemath.pi,math.sin,math.cos, and more.
Basic Arithmetic Using Math Library
- The
mathlibrary provides basic arithmetic functions likemath.sqrtfor square roots andmath.powfor exponentiation.
Trigonometric Functions
- The
mathlibrary provides trigonometric functions likemath.sin,math.cos, andmath.tanfor dealing with angles.
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
- The
mathlibrary provides exponential and logarithmic functions likemath.expandmath.logfor calculating exponential and logarithmic values.
Constants
- The
mathlibrary provides constants likemath.piandmath.efor mathematical calculations.
Rounding Functions
- The
mathlibrary provides rounding functions likemath.floorfor rounding down,math.ceilfor rounding up, andmath.roundfor rounding to the nearest integer.
Power and Square Root
- The
mathlibrary provides functions for power and square root calculations likemath.powandmath.sqrt.
Absolute Value
- The
mathlibrary provides a function for calculating the absolute value of a number likemath.abs.
Factorial
- The
mathlibrary provides a function for calculating the factorial of a number likemath.factorial.
Degrees and Radians
- The
mathlibrary provides functions for converting between degrees and radians likemath.radiansandmath.degrees.
Hyperbolic Functions
- The
mathlibrary provides functions for hyperbolic calculations likemath.sinh,math.cosh, andmath.tanh.
Challenges
- There are three challenges: decimal doubling, big square root, and shape selector, which require using the math library and basic arithmetic operations.
- The challenges are designed to practice and reinforce the concepts learned in the video.
Python Maths Basics
- Python supports two types of numbers: integers (whole numbers) and floating-point numbers (decimal point numbers).
Min and Max Functions
- The
minfunction returns the lowest value in a list. - The
maxfunction returns the highest value in a list. - Both functions can take multiple arguments.
Pow Function
- The
powfunction raises x to the power of y. - Example:
pow(5, 4)is equivalent to 5 * 5 * 5 * 5.
Sum Function
- The
sumfunction returns the total of all elements in a list.
Round Function
- The
roundfunction rounds a number to the nearest integer or a specified number of decimal places. - Example:
round(3.14159, 2)returns Pi rounded to 2 decimal places.
Importing Math Library
- The
mathlibrary provides advanced math functions. - To use the
mathlibrary, import it withimport math.
