POLAR GRAPHS PYTHON PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY
Python Programming should be an integral part of math education, in fact the newer TI-84 graphing calculators have Python interpreters built-in! Alternately, Python programs can be entered and run from web browsers and tablet apps. This activity can be assigned for self-study or in a teacher-led lesson. It includes the following: a Python program that plots a polar graph in the form r = f(theta)Two exercise sets with suggestions on how to modify and improve the program, including how to handle n

Experience

Prior to teaching I was a computer programmer in the aerospace and CAD industries; I also worked many years as a freelance web designer and web programmer.
Teaching style
In my experience, students prefer traditional instruction: examples, guided practice, independent practice. I incorporate graphing calculators as much as possible into instruction because students love handheld devices and trying things out on their own.
My own education history
B.S. in Mathematics-Computer Science, UCLA;
M.Ed UCLA;
M.A. Mathematics, UC Riverside.
Additional biographical information
My textbook "Programming Precalculus with Python" will be published by Cognella Publishing in Winter 2023. This textbook teaches both Precalculus and Python concepts completely integrated.
