Mathematics by Steps (Angles to Vectors)


Book Description

Pick up any mathematics book and take an objective look at the contents of any one topic. The chances are that the writer falsely believes that prior essential knowledge has already been gained as a precursor to addressing the topic. In truth, the student may have indeed gained some insight to essential knowledge, but this is never made completely clear at the outset and consequently the student is, more often than not, left to look for such relevant associations as best they can. Assumed prior knowledge is often essential, but all too often not made clear, thus resulting in predictable disastrous effects and yet another generation that can sadly boast 'I was never good at mathematics when I was at school'. This book helps to address this problem.

Practical Mathematics for AI and Deep Learning


Book Description

Mathematical Codebook to Navigate Through the Fast-changing AI Landscape KEY FEATURES ● Access to industry-recognized AI methodology and deep learning mathematics with simple-to-understand examples. ● Encompasses MDP Modeling, the Bellman Equation, Auto-regressive Models, BERT, and Transformers. ● Detailed, line-by-line diagrams of algorithms, and the mathematical computations they perform. DESCRIPTION To construct a system that may be referred to as having ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ it is important to develop the capacity to design algorithms capable of performing data-based automated decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. Now, to accomplish this goal, one needs to have an in-depth understanding of the more sophisticated components of linear algebra, vector calculus, probability, and statistics. This book walks you through every mathematical algorithm, as well as its architecture, its operation, and its design so that you can understand how any artificial intelligence system operates. This book will teach you the common terminologies used in artificial intelligence such as models, data, parameters of models, and dependent and independent variables. The Bayesian linear regression, the Gaussian mixture model, the stochastic gradient descent, and the backpropagation algorithms are explored with implementation beginning from scratch. The vast majority of the sophisticated mathematics required for complicated AI computations such as autoregressive models, cycle GANs, and CNN optimization are explained and compared. You will acquire knowledge that extends beyond mathematics while reading this book. Specifically, you will become familiar with numerous AI training methods, various NLP tasks, and the process of reducing the dimensionality of data. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Learn to think like a professional data scientist by picking the best-performing AI algorithms. ● Expand your mathematical horizons to include the most cutting-edge AI methods. ● Learn about Transformer Networks, improving CNN performance, dimensionality reduction, and generative models. ● Explore several neural network designs as a starting point for constructing your own NLP and Computer Vision architecture. ● Create specialized loss functions and tailor-made AI algorithms for a given business application. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR Everyone interested in artificial intelligence and its computational foundations, including machine learning, data science, deep learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP), both researchers and professionals, will find this book to be an excellent companion. This book can be useful as a quick reference for practitioners who already use a variety of mathematical topics but do not completely understand the underlying principles. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Mathematics for Machine Learning


Book Description

The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics. This self-contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and others with a mathematical background, these derivations provide a starting point to machine learning texts. For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book's web site.




Science By Simulation - Volume 1: A Mezze Of Mathematical Models


Book Description

A Mezze of Mathematical Methods is Volume 1 of Science by Simulation. It is a recipe book of mathematical models that can be enlivened by the transmutation of equations into computer code. In this volume, the examples chosen are an eclectic mix of systems and stories rooted in common experience, rather than those normally associated with constrained courses on Physics, Chemistry or Biology which are taught in isolation and susceptible to going out of date in a few years. Rather than a 'what' of Science, this book is aimed at the 'how', readily applied to projects by students and professionals. Written in a friendly style based upon the author's expertise in teaching and pedagogy, this mathematically rigorous book is designed for readers to follow arguments step-by-step with stand-alone chapters which can be read independently. This approach will provide a tangible and readily accessible context for the development of a wide range of interconnected mathematical ideas and computing methods that underpin the practice of Science.

Mathematical Visualization


Book Description

Mathematical Visualization is a young new discipline. It offers efficient visualization tools to the classical subjects of mathematics, and applies mathematical techniques to problems in computer graphics and scientific visualization. Originally, it started in the interdisciplinary area of differential geometry, numerical mathematics, and computer graphics. In recent years, the methods developed have found important applications. The current volume is the quintessence of an international workshop in September 1997 in Berlin, focusing on recent developments in this emerging area. Experts present selected research work on new algorithms for visualization problems, describe the application and experiments in geometry, and develop new numerical or computer graphical techniques.
