Dive on into this eclectic book that combines computer science, math, and design elements with history to showcase the development of a new programming language - swiML. Not only learn but apply this computer language to designing your own swimming training sessions, or simply take inspiration and try swimming sets derived from the works of Plato, Fibonacci, Einstein and more.

Prof. Bartneck has produced an inspired book that takes us through some of the history of number theory, geometry, computer programming, and applications to training programs (swimming in particular). It is a fun and interesting journey and a vivid demonstration of how some of the most obscure details of numbers and graphs can be related to everyday, even mundane, behaviors with amusing and interesting results.
