15 Math Concepts Every Data Scientist Should Know - Understand and learn how to apply the math behind data science algorithms

David Hoyle

Sinopse

Data science combines the power of data with the rigor of scientific methodology, with mathematics providing the tools and frameworks for analysis, algorithm development, and deriving insights. As machine learning algorithms become increasingly complex, a solid grounding in math is crucial for data scientists. David Hoyle, with over 30 years of experience in statistical and mathematical modeling, brings unparalleled industrial expertise to this book, drawing from his work in building predictive models for the world's largest retailers. Encompassing 15 crucial concepts, this book covers a spectrum of mathematical techniques to help you understand a vast range of data science algorithms and applications. Starting with essential foundational concepts, such as random variables and probability distributions, you’ll learn why data varies, and explore matrices and linear algebra to transform that data. Building upon this foundation, the book spans general intermediate concepts, such as model complexity and network analysis, as well as advanced concepts such as kernel-based learning and information theory. Each concept is illustrated with Python code snippets demonstrating their practical application to solve problems.By the end of the book, you’ll have the confidence to apply key mathematical concepts to your data science challenges.

Infinity and our Unbounded...

Martin K. Ettington

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

DESCRIPTION
Artificial Intelligence is the most talked about subject and we all understand that the future lies in knowing it well. The Touchpad AI series is written for classes I to VII keeping in mind about the future and scope that lies in AI. Classes VIII to XII are strictly based on CBSE curriculum. They have competency-based questions to ensure that students are capable of applying their learning to solve some real-life challenges. The knowledge is spread in a phased manner so that at no age the kid finds it difficult to understand the theory.

Each lesson begins with a short conversation between human characters and one humanoid which tries to explain in simple words about the topics related to Artificial Intelligence. The story is built up in such a way that the curiosity of the reader compels to read the entire lesson. The idea behind introducing humanoid is to touch the hearts of our kids with the existence of friendly robots in the form of humanoids.

Touchpad Artificial Intelligence series has some salient features such as AI Reboot, AI Deep Thinking, AI in Life, AI Lab and AI Ready which ensures that NEP 2020 guidelines are followed.

There are plenty of Video Sessions for students and teachers to go beyond the syllabus and enrich their knowledge. There are some brainstorming questions in the form of AI Task in between the topics to ensure that students give pause to their learning and use their skills to reach to some creative ideas in solving given problems.

I would like to humbly acknowledge the support provided by my family, friends and Orange Education Pvt Ltd team to accomplish this noble task. I am sure that this book will prove to be a tool in making the students future ready for Artificial Intelligence. Wishing learners great success in future endeavours. Enjoy the journey of happy learning!! All your feedbacks and suggestions will always be wholeheartedly welcomed to improve and grow.

Wild Enthusiasm - A Very British...

Steve Wright

No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  

The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  

Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  

But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.
