A survey of the philosophical implications and practical applications of fuzzy systems: Fuzzy mathematical concepts such as fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and similarity relations represent one of the most exciting currents in modern engineering and have great potential in applications ranging from control theory to bioinformatics. Data Engineering guides the reader through a number of concepts interconnected by fuzzy mathematics and discusses these concepts from a systems engineering perspective to showcase the continuing vitality, attractiveness, and applicability of fuzzy mathematics.

The author discusses the fundamental aspects of data analysis, systems modeling, and uncertainty calculi. He avoids a narrow discussion of specialized methodologies and takes a holistic view of the nature and application of fuzzy systems, considering principles, paradigms, and methodologies along the way. This broad coverage includes: * Fundamentals of modeling, identification, and clustering * System analysis * Uncertainty techniques * Random-set modeling and identification * Fuzzy inference engines * Fuzzy classification, control, and mathematics. In the important emerging field of bioinformatics, the book sets out how to encode a natural system in mathematical models, describes methods to identify interrelationships and interactions from data, and thereby helps the practitioner to decide which variables to measure and why. Data Engineering serves as an up-to-date and informative survey of the theoretical and practical tools for analyzing complex systems. It offers a unique treatment of complex issues that is accessible to students and researchers from a variety of backgrounds.

Statistical methods are a key part of of data science, yet very few data scientists have any formal statistics training. Courses and books on basic statistics rarely cover the topic from a data science perspective. This practical guide explains how to apply various statistical methods to data science, tells you how to avoid their misuse, and gives you advice on what's important and what's not. Many data science resources incorporate statistical methods but lack a deeper statistical perspective. If you’re familiar with the R programming language, and have some exposure to statistics, this quick reference bridges the gap in an accessible, readable format. With this book, you’ll learn: Why exploratory data analysis is a key preliminary step in data science - How random sampling can reduce bias and yield a higher quality dataset, even with big data - How the principles of experimental design yield definitive answers to questions - How to use regression to estimate outcomes and detect anomalies - Key classification techniques for predicting which categories a record belongs to - Statistical machine learning methods that “learn” from data - Unsupervised learning methods for extracting meaning from unlabeled data.

Steven J. Miller ... 327 pages - Publisher: American Mathematical Society; (December, 2017) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 1470441144 - ISBN-13: 978-1470441142.

Optimization Theory is an active area of research with numerous applications; many of the books are designed for engineering classes, and thus have an emphasis on problems from such fields. Covering much of the same material, there is less emphasis on coding and detailed applications as the intended audience is more mathematical. There are still several important problems discussed (especially scheduling problems), but there is more emphasis on theory and less on the nuts and bolts of coding. A constant theme of the text is the ``why'' and the ``how'' in the subject. Why are we able to do a calculation efficiently? How should we look at a problem? Extensive effort is made to motivate the mathematics and isolate how one can apply ideas/perspectives to a variety of problems. As many of the key algorithms in the subject require too much time or detail to analyze in a first course (such as the run-time of the Simplex Algorithm), there are numerous comparisons to simpler algorithms which students have either seen or can quickly learn (such as the Euclidean algorithm) to motivate the type of results on run-time savings.

Jim DeFranza, Daniel Gagliardi ... 416 pages - Publisher: McGraw-Hill; (September, 2008) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0073532355 - ISBN-13: 978-0073532356 ...

Linear Algebra with Applications is an introductory text targeted to second or advanced first year undergraduates in engineering or mathematics. The organization of this text is motivated by the authors' experience which tells them what essential concepts should be mastered by students in a one semester undergraduate Linear Algebra course. The authors' main objectives are to fully develop each topic before moving on and to connect topics naturally. The authors take great care to meet both these objectives, because this organization will allow instructors teaching from this text to stay on task so that each topic can be covered with the depth required before progressing to the next logical one. As a result the reader is prepared for each new unit and there is no need to repeat a concept in a subsequent chapter when it is utilized. This text is geared towards an introductory linear algebra course taken by first or second year undergraduate students. However, it offers the opportunity to introduce the importance of abstraction, not only in mathematics, but in many other areas where Linear Algebra is used. The textbook’s approach is to take advantage of this opportunity by presenting abstract vector spaces as early as possible. Throughout the text, the authors are mindful of the difficulties that students at this level have with abstraction and introduce new concepts first through examples which gently illustrate the idea. To motivate the definition of an abstract vector space, and the subtle concept of linear independence, the authors use addition and scalar multiplication of vectors in Euclidean Space. The authors have strived to create a balance between computation, problem solving, and abstraction. This approach equips students with the necessary skills and problem solving strategies in an abstract setting that allows for a greater understanding and appreciation for the numerous applications of the subject.
