Python for Accounting and Finance: A Mind-Mapping Approach is an innovative textbook written for accounting and finance students and professionals with no prior coding experience. It introduces Python programming through a mind-mapping approach that presents complex concepts in a clear and structured way to support understanding and retention. The book is organised into four parts: Python Basics, Data Analysis and Visualisation, Automation, and Machine Learning. It places programming within practical accounting and finance contexts so that learners can see the direct application of coding in their field. The textbook uses mind maps as a core instructional method. These visual diagrams show programming concepts and their connections, helping learners to understand, organise and recall information, particularly those who learn through visual representation. Enhanced with Google Colab notebooks, this book creates a highly supportive learning experience, equipping students of accounting and finance with essential programming skills for their speciality.
