Crack core maths concepts while learning the powerful language of code with in this two-in-one Python programming guide.

With examples and activities that help you achieve real results, applying calculus and statistical methods relevant to advanced data science has never been so easyKey Features Discover how most programmers use the main Python libraries when performing statistics with Python Use descriptive statistics and visualizations to answer business and scientific questions Solve complicated calculus problems, such as arc length and solids of revolution using derivatives and integralsBook DescriptionAre 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 integralsWho this book is forIf 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.

Humanity faces the looming challenge of feeding more people, with less labour and resources. This book provides a glimpse of what is possible and encourages engineers and agriculturalists to explore how radio-frequency and microwave systems might further enhance the agricultural industry.

Life is not just another rodeo for shooting star fourteen-year-old Carol ORourke in rural Montana. She goes from a life on the road of one rodeo to the next to one that is very differentliving with a family. She is rescued by Ben Sterler, his wife, and children while they were traveling on vacation. She grows up in a fairly normal family situation, but her past in the rodeo is never far away.As a young woman, Carol falls into the Long Island club and bar scene, working as a bartender. She stays in close touch with Sarah Sterler, who she grew up with and also rescued in another much more serious way.Carols earlier life with the Sterlers, particularly Ben, the father, suddenly catches up with her one day. Her life progresses at a rapid, furious, and often violent pace at this time, bringing friends and lovers into the fray with her.

In 'THREE SCREENPLAYS -A Cineaste Reader' one finds the completed screenplays of three, as yet, unproduced films. These are working scripts that actors, directors and producers read everyday, and use to make their decisions on whether this proposed film will be actually made. Will this story entice, intrigue and convince the average movie- goers enough for them to shell out their eight bucks to see it? Will it make enough money to make it all worthwhile?This is the beginning - the early creation that eventually evolves into the blockbuster we see on the big screen.But one need not have any particular knowledge 'about' film, or the 'movies' to enjoy reading in this fast paced writing style. If one has ever enjoyed a particular movie and wondered just how it all began -enjoys more than just 'watching' a movie...Then here are three very different stories, each set separately in modern screenplay format.Stories about international intrigue, families, the young - and the old. Gangsters, corrupt politicians, terrorists - blowups, shootings, crashes, drug deals. Sex. It is all here. AND COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU!
