Learning Python: A Pathway to Artificial Intelligence

Amid the transformative forces of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, trends such as artificial intelligence and big data play pivotal roles in shaping industries. Python stands out as a programming language highly esteemed for its accessibility to beginners and its robust library ecosystem. This book, drawing from a wealth of teaching experience, is tailored to guide non-majors from the fundamentals of Python to more complex topics through clear, illustrative examples and engaging visuals. By incorporating the Turtle graphics module, it offers an interactive learning experience, while self-assessment quizzes allow learners to gauge their understanding effectively.
The book is thoughtfully organized into two main sections: Chapters 1-11 lay a solid foundation with core concepts, while Chapters 12-14 provide insight into practical applications through key libraries such as NumPy, Matplotlib, and OpenCV. These chapters empower readers to explore advanced topics like artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and image processing. This comprehensive approach not only enriches understanding but also equips readers with the practical skills necessary to leverage Python in real-world scenarios.
