The Student's Introduction to Mathematica and the Wolfram Language

Author: Bruce F. Torrence
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110831404X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 550

Book Description
The unique feature of this compact student's introduction to Mathematica® and the Wolfram LanguageTM is that the order of the material closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum. As a result, it provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica® software program most useful to students. Used as a supplementary text, it will help bridge the gap between Mathematica® and the mathematics in the course, and will serve as an excellent tutorial for former students. There have been significant changes to Mathematica® since the second edition, and all chapters have now been updated to account for new features in the software, including natural language queries and the vast stores of real-world data that are now integrated through the cloud. This third edition also includes many new exercises and a chapter on 3D printing that showcases the new computational geometry capabilities that will equip readers to print in 3D.

A New Kind of Science

Author: Stephen Wolfram
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780713991161
Category : Cellular automata
Languages : en
Pages : 1197

Book Description
This work presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments---illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics---Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe. Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science: from the origin of the Second Law of thermodynamics, to the development of complexity in biology, the computational limitations of mathematics, the possibility of a truly fundamental theory of physics, and the interplay between free will and determinism.

ISBN: 1139473735
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 484

Book Description
The unique feature of this compact student's introduction is that it presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software. As a result, the book provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica software program most useful to students. The second edition of this well loved book is completely rewritten for Mathematica 6 including coverage of the new dynamic interface elements, several hundred exercises and a new chapter on programming. This book can be used in a variety of courses, from precalculus to linear algebra. Used as a supplementary text it will aid in bridging the gap between the mathematics in the course and Mathematica. In addition to its course use, this book will serve as an excellent tutorial for those wishing to learn Mathematica and brush up on their mathematics at the same time.

Introduction to Machine Learning

Author: Shan-e-Fatima
Publisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 189

Book Description
With the use of machine learning (ML), which is a form of artificial intelligence (AI), software programmers may predict outcomes more accurately without having to be explicitly instructed to do so. In order to forecast new output values, machine learning algorithms use historical data as input. Machine learning is frequently used in recommendation engines. Business process automation (BPA), predictive maintenance, spam filtering, malware threat detection, and fraud detection are a few additional common uses. Machine learning is significant because it aids in the development of new goods and provides businesses with a picture of trends in consumer behavior and operational business patterns. For many businesses, machine learning has emerged as a key competitive differentiation. The fundamental methods of machine learning are covered in the current book.
