Organizations that are data-driven use data science to base every business choice on verifiable information derived from data. Organizations can accelerate the growth of their data-driven decision-making skills by using data science. It is a multidisciplinary field that necessitates substantial proficiency in the areas of mathematics, computer science, statistics, and particularly software engineering in order to draw insightful conclusions from data and enhance the decision-making abilities of businesses.

Thirteen volumes of mathematical definitions, propositions and proofs. Writing in 300 BC, Euclid could not have known his logic would go unsurpassed until the 19th century or that his writings were laying down the very foundations of human knowledge. Wardhaugh blasts the dust from Euclid’s legacy to offer not only a vibrant history of mathematics, told through people and invention, but also a broader story of culture.

Leading for Organisational Change is an intelligent and practical guide to the human side of merger integration and other organizational change. Building a clear sense of common purpose and then reinforcing it through storytelling can underpin the success of an integration or significant change program. Pulling together the best thinking from neuroscience, psychology, business, and her rich personal experience in 20 years of leading change projects in professional services organizations and other people-centered businesses, author Jennifer Emery presents a framework for change.

Savez-vous que le 34 avril est un jour très utile ? Que certains fleuves coulent de bas en haut ? Que la Lune tourne en ligne droite ? Que la couverture de ce livre est peut-être rouge ? Et que tout en lisant ces quelques lignes vous voyagez à la vitesse de 300 000 kilomètres par seconde ?

En 1637, Descartes révolutionne la manière que l'on a de faire de la géométrie : il pose les bases de ce que l'on appelle la "géométrie algébrique", qui associe, à chaque point de l'espace, 3 coordonnées. Cela permet de résoudre des problèmes géométriques avec des outils algébriques. Cette géométrie est dite "commutative", c'est-à-dire que le produit de deux quantités ne dépend pas de l'ordre des termes : A × B = B × A. Cette propriété est fondamentale, et l'ensemble de l'édifice mathématique en dépend.

Welcome to Plato's Pod, a bi-weekly podcast of group discussions on the dialogues of Plato, the philosopher and geometer who wrote nearly 2,400 years ago. Anyone interested in participating, whether to learn about Plato or to contribute to the dialogue, is welcome to join. Hosted by amateur philosopher James Myers, the podcast is held through Meetup.com and inquiries can be e-mailed to dialoguesonplato@outlook.com. Episodes are lightly edited for clarity, with care to avoid compromising the contributions made by participants. Wherever we go in our discussions, we gain knowledge from each other...

"Introduction to Machine Learning" is your ticket to unraveling the mysteries of this groundbreaking technology without the need for a PhD!

Explore the practical application of statistics in civil engineering. In this work, delve into the mathematical fundamentals of statistics and discover how it is crucial for making precise decisions in civil engineering projects. This book guides listeners through essential statistical techniques, from basic methods to advanced approaches, illustrating its vital role in areas such as structural analysis, geotechnics, and project management.

This book includes two manuscripts, Blockchain: Master the Blockchain Technology and Bitcoin: The Currency of the Future. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are fascinating, and if someone is able to do their own solving of the algorithmic puzzles and mining of the Bitcoin, there is even money to be made. However, as interesting as the idea of cryptocurrencies are, the ways blockchain technology will immeasurably alter the methods in which the world shares information are incredible.

Two leading data scientists offer an up-close and user-friendly look at artificial intelligence: what it is, how it works, where it came from and how to harness its power for a better world. Dozens of times per day, we all interact with intelligent machines that are constantly learning from the wealth of data now available to them. These machines, from smartphones to talking robots to self-driving cars, are remaking the world in the 21st century in the same way that the Industrial Revolution remade the world in the 19th.

Willkommen im Hotel Unendlichkeit. Es verfügt über eine unendliche Zahl von Zimmern, und in jedem der ankommenden Reisebusse sitzt eine unendliche Zahl von Menschen, die dort übernachten wollen. Wie sie unterbringen? Und gibt es etwa kleinere und größere, also noch unendlichere, überabzählbare Unendlichkeiten? Mit Hilfe der großen, aber endlichen Menge von Neuronen im Gehirn und der sehr viel geringeren, ebenso endlichen Menge von Seiten in diesem Buch fällt es nicht schwer, das Rätsel der Unendlichkeit zu lösen.

Machine Learning: The History of Automating Computers to Observe and Analyze Data looks at the attempts to develop machine learning, from successes to failures. You will learn about machine learning like never before.

Math! Science! History! is a podcast about the history of people, theories, and discoveries that have moved our scientific progress forward and spurred us on to unimaginable discoveries. Join Gabrielle Birchak for a little math, a little science, and a little history. All in a little bit of time.

For decades, psychologists and economists have studied the science of streaks to determine whether the ‘hot hand’ exists. Is there such a thing as being in the zone? Or is it simply a case of seeing patterns in randomness? Genius scholars and Nobel Prize winners have dedicated years to answering this question. A substantial number of the decisions we make each day are rooted in two opposing beliefs: that if something happened before, it will happen again – or if it happened before, it probably won’t happen again.

The author, Chris McMullen, PhD, has over 20 years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his passion for word problems. This book includes 200 word problems with answers.

What's the Use? asks why there is such a vast gulf between public perceptions of mathematics and reality. It shows how mathematics is vital, often in surprising ways, behind the scenes of daily life. How politicians pick their voters. How an absurd little puzzle solved 300 years ago leads to efficient methods for kidney transplants. How an Irish mathematician's obsession with a new number system improves special effects in movies and computer games. How SatNav relies on at least six mathematical techniques.
