This book teaches basic algebra by having the student write short, simple computer programs (or “code”), to investigate topics typically found in an introductory algebra class. Topics include symbolic manipulation, factoring, problem solving, graphing, equation solving, and quadratic equations, all presented with the backdrop of writing simple code.The programming environment used is the site at http://www.codebymath.com, which is a website dedicated to the parallel learning of coding and mathematics. The website has a straightforward design for coding: a "run" button executes code typed into a text-window on the left side of the screen. Any output generated, will appear in second window on the right side of the screen. Many programming extensions are available, for text, graphics, professional charts, sound, and even maps.The student will be pleased with the motivation and insights coding brings to learning algebra.
