Enhance your data science programming and analysis with the Wolfram programming language and Mathematica, an applied mathematical tools suite. This second edition introduces the latest LLM Wolfram capabilities, delves into the exploration of data types in Mathematica, covers key programming concepts, and includes code performance and debugging techniques for code optimization.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of data science from a theoretical and practical perspective using Mathematica and the Wolfram Language. Learning this language makes your data science code better because it is very intuitive and comes with pre-existing functions that can provide a welcoming experience for those who use other programming languages. Existing topics have been reorganized for better context and to accommodate the introduction of Notebook styles. The book also incorporates new functionalities in code versions 13 and 14 for imported and exported data.

You’ll see how to use Mathematica, where data management and mathematical computations are needed. Along the way, you’ll appreciate how Mathematica provides an entirely integrated platform: its symbolic and numerical calculation result in a mized syntax, allowing it to carry out various processes without superfluous lines of code. You’ll learn to use its notebooks as a standard format, which also serves to create detailed reports of the processes carried out.

What You Will Learn: Create datasets, work with data frames, and create tables + Import, export, analyze, and visualize data + Work with the Wolfram data repository + Build reports on the analysis + Use Mathematica for machine learning, with different algorithms, including linear, multiple, and logistic regression; decision trees; and data clustering.

Neural networks were developed to simulate the human nervous system for Machine Learning tasks by treating the computational units in a learning model in a manner similar to human neurons. The grand vision of neural networks is to create artificial intelligence by building machines whose architecture simulates the computations in the human nervous system. Although the biological model of neural networks is an exciting one and evokes comparisons with science fiction, neural networks have a much simpler and mundane mathematical basis than a complex biological system. The neural network abstraction can be viewed as a modular approach of enabling learning algorithms that are based on continuous optimization on a computational graph of mathematical dependencies between the input and output. These ideas are strikingly similar to classical optimization methods in control theory, which historically preceded the development of neural network algorithms.

Krishnan Sathia ... 706 pages - Language: ‎English - Publisher: ‎Bentley Institute Press; (July, 2014).

Written for beginners and advanced users alike, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is part of a three volume series featuring Bentley's STAAD.Pro software. The series is not a how-to manual, but an illustration of the governing principles of engineering the software abides by, and the application of those principles within STAAD.Pro. Author Krishnan Sathia, a Bentley technical support analyst, utilizes his years of experience to fill the gap that exists between the engineering concepts taught in schools and universities, and the application of those concepts on real-world problems. By connecting theory to practice, the material in this series of books will remain relevant long after today's software has been updated.

Static and Dynamic Loads guides readers through the identification of primary load types in STAAD.Pro and their effects on a structure. This is followed by the principles involved in the generation of loads such as wind, snow, and seismic forces through the software environment and how those loads can be combined and re-used for various purposes. The last part of the book deals with determining the dynamic properties of structures and analyzing them for dynamic loads through response spectrum and time history loading. Filled with in-depth knowledge of structural analysis, high-quality illustrations and models, and applications through real-world problems, Principles of Structural Analysis – Static and Dynamic Loads is a must read for students, practicing professionals, and educators around the world.

Concrete is the most used building material. Its main component, cement, however, accounts production- related for up to 10 % of global CO2 emissions and is therefore a major contributor to human-induced climate change. Due to its low tensile strength, concrete must be further enhanced in tension with adequate reinforcement, such as steel. Producing the latter therefore additionally impacts the environment. Consequently, reducing the material amount for design and construction of structures, thus lowering material- and transport-induced emissions, represents a key element to climate protection. In this context, meeting the essential requirements, sustainability, serviceability, durability is yet indispensable.The book presents innovative optimization aided design methods for concrete structures. Mathematical optimization is applied to practical problems of structural concrete at each level: from external, through internal structure identification to cross-section design. It is shown how to design resource-efficient structures following the flux of forces, how to optimally adapt reinforcement layouts to the internal force flow, and how to efficiently cope with demanding cross-sectional design tasks such as biaxial bending.

The optimization aided design methods are discussed in detail and described vividly. They are independent of standards, concrete material (normal to ultra-high performance) and reinforcement type (steel fibers to carbon bars), thus universally applicable. The book illustrates the different approaches with numerous figures and calculation examples. Existing applications in structural engineering are presented to demonstrate the potential of optimization aided design concepts, including ultra-lightweight hybrid beams, thin concrete solar collectors, and improved reinforcement layouts for tunnel lining segments.
