Book Description
Are you looking to start developing artificial intelligence applications? Do you need a refresher on key mathematical concepts? Full of engaging practical exercises, The Statistics and Calculus with Python Workshop will show you how to apply your understanding of advanced mathematics in the context of Python.
The book begins by giving you a high-level overview of the libraries you'll use while performing statistics with Python. As you progress, you'll perform various mathematical tasks using the Python programming language, such as solving algebraic functions with Python starting with basic functions, and then working through transformations and solving equations. Later chapters in the book will cover statistics and calculus concepts and how to use them to solve problems and gain useful insights. Finally, you'll study differential equations with an emphasis on numerical methods and learn about algorithms that directly calculate values of functions.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to apply essential statistics and calculus concepts to develop robust Python applications that solve business challenges.
What you will learn
- Get to grips with the fundamental mathematical functions in Python
- Perform calculations on tabular datasets using pandas
- Understand the differences between polynomials, rational functions, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions
- Use algebra techniques for solving systems of equations
- Solve real-world problems with probability
- Solve optimization problems with derivatives and integrals
Who this book is for
If you are a Python programmer who wants to develop intelligent solutions that solve challenging business problems, then this book is for you. To better grasp the concepts explained in this book, you must have a thorough understanding of advanced mathematical concepts, such as Markov chains, Euler's formula, and Runge-Kutta methods as the book only explains how these techniques and concepts can be implemented in Python.

About the Author
Peter Farrell learned to program from the Logo code in Seymour Papert's Mindstorms. A student introduced him to Python and he never looked back. In 2015, he self-published Hacking Math Class with Python on applying Python programming to learning and teaching high-school math. In 2019, No Starch Press published his second book, Math Adventures with Python. In his books, he also presents 21st-century topics, such as Cellular Automata, 3D Graphics, and Genetic Algorithms. Currently, he teaches Python and Math in the Dallas, Texas area.
Alvaro Fuentes is a senior data scientist with a background in applied mathematics and economics. He has more than 14 years of experience in various analytical roles and is an analytics consultant at one of the 'Big Three' global management consulting firms, leading advanced analytics projects in different industries like banking, technology, and consumer goods. Alvaro is also an author and trainer in analytics and data science and has published courses and books, such as 'Become a Python Data Analyst' and 'Hands-On Predictive Analytics with Python'. He has also taught data science and related topics to thousands of students both on-site and online through different platforms such as Springboard, Simplilearn, Udemy, and BSG Institute, among others.
Ajinkya Sudhir Kolhe is a programmer working for a tech company in the Bay area. He holds a M.S. in Computer Science and has experience in the tech industry of 5+ years. His area of interests include problem solving, analytics and applications in Python.
Quan Nguyen is a programmer with a special interest in scientific computing, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Before publishing his first book with Packt, he was a primary contributor to the book Python for Scientists and Engineers and various open source projects on GitHub. He is also a writer for the Python Software Foundation and Oracle's AI and Data Science blog. Quan is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis.
Alexander Joseph Sarver is an ambitious data scientist and content creator with 6 years of mathematical teaching experience.
Marios Tsatsos has 8+ years of experience in research in Physics, analytical thinking, modeling, problem solving and decision making.

Terms of sale
1. Scope
For all orders via our store on the AbeBooks Marketplace, the following terms and conditions apply. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own used by you is contradicted.
2. contracting party, conclusion of contract, correction options
The purchase contract is concluded with momox SE.
The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.
If an article is posted by us on AbeBooks, the activation of the offer page on AbeBooks is the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalog. You have the option to complete the ordering process via the shopping cart system or the buy now function. You can initially place our products in the shopping cart without obligation and correct your entries at any time before submitting your binding order by using the correction tools provided and explained for this purpose in the order process. By clicking the order button you make a binding offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart. By pressing the button "Buy now" an order is automatically created, which will be sent to the delivery address you have provided and for which a payment is made with the specified payment method.
The confirmation of receipt of your order will be sent by e-mail immediately after sending the order. We accept your order within 2 days by us or AbeBooks on our behalf submitting/issuing a declaration of acceptance or shipping confirmation in a separate email or, if applicable, the payment transaction is carried out by the service provider or the selected payment service provider. The time of execution of the payment transaction depends on the respective selected payment method (see under "Payment"). The relevant alternative for you depends on which of the listed events occurs first.
