Exploring Mathematics with Python
The heart of this book is Arthur Engel’s 1993 textbook Exploring Mathematics with your Computer which utilizes Turbo Pascal for its exploratory work, and is still available for purchase. The first six chapters (and Appendix A) are essentially that book, but with the programming language changed to Python, some rewording, reformatting in Latex, and a few additions. Those chapters masterfully cover over 60 topics, that are mostly independent of each other. Sadly, Engel passed away in 2022, and so the revisions were carried out by the second author (Andrew Davison). I’m also responsible for the new chapters, a potpourri of math topics, starting with fractals in chapter 7.

Opinion | The Strange Death of Make America Great Again – The New York Times
A year into Mr. Trump’s second term in office, MAGA’s internal contradictions can no longer be ignored. The movement that had promised an end to foreign adventurism has found itself torn between an alliance of ideological noninterventionists and realists and a hawkish national security establishment. Trumpism promised a revival of domestic manufacturing, yet neither the president nor his advisers have decided whether this means tariffs, industrial policy, reviving organized labor, environmental deregulation or mere nostalgia. MAGA also promised immigration reform but has oscillated between showboating deportations and a deference to pro-visa allies in Big Tech and corporate agriculture. At the same time, American support for Israel has become a contested issue on the right for the first time in decades. Some opponents have been accused of antisemitism; others simply announce it.
