ABSTRACT

Python for Scientific Computing and Artificial Intelligence is split into 3 parts: in Section 1, the reader is introduced to the Python programming language and shown how Python can aid in the understanding of advanced High School Mathematics. In Section 2, the reader is shown how Python can be used to solve real-world problems from a broad range of scientific disciplines. Finally, in Section 3, the reader is introduced to neural networks and shown how TensorFlow (written in Python) can be used to solve a large array of problems in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This book was developed from a series of national and international workshops that the author has been delivering for over twenty years. The book is beginner friendly and has a strong practical emphasis on programming and computational modelling.

Features:

  • No prior experience of programming is required
  • Online GitHub repository available with codes for readers to practice
  • Covers applications and examples from biology, chemistry, computer science, data science, electrical and mechanical engineering, economics, mathematics, physics, statistics and binary oscillator computing
  • Full solutions to exercises are available as Jupyter notebooks on the Web
