Push Scratch programming to the limits as you explore primes,
Fibonacci numbers, Pascal’s triangle, and other mathematical
curiosities through hands-on coding projects. If you’re a student
looking for project ideas to practice your math and coding skills,
or a Scratch enthusiast just looking for something different, this
is the book for you! Scratch is mainly used to learn programming
and design computer games, but it has plenty of other useful
applications—like solving math problems. This book reveals the
block-based coding system’s mathematical superpowers, guiding you
through over 20 hands-on projects that investigate a variety of
interesting numerical puzzles. You’ll quickly find that core math
concepts, like number representations, divisibility, and
cryptography, are fun to code using Scratch. In addition to
learning how to hack Scratch to get it to work with numbers in
unusual ways, you’ll discover efficient algorithms for making
time-consuming computations a snap. Along the way, you'll see how
the right mathematical or programming trick can simplify a
seemingly complex task, as you think through bonus coding
challenges that further promote independent experimentation while
improving both your math and programming skills.
