The book has an innovative structure with 4 sections of two chapters covering a large range of applied mathematical techniques: probabilistic modelling, dynamical systems, emergent behaviour and optimisation. The pairs of chapters in each section demonstrate different families of solution approaches. Each chapter starts with a problem, gives an overview of the relevant theory, shows a solution approach in R and in Python, and finally gives wider context by including a number of published references. This structure will allow for maximum accessibility, with minimal prerequisites in mathematics or programming as well as giving the right opportunities for a reader wanting to delve deeper into a particular topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent resource for scholars of applied mathematics and operational research, and indeed any academics who want to learn how to use open-source software.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers more general and accessible treatment of the subject than other texts, both in terms of programming language but also in terms of the subjects considered.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe R and Python sections purposefully mirror each other so that a reader can read only the section that interests them.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn accompanying open-source repository with source files and further examples is posted online at https: \/\/bit.ly\/3kpoKSd.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent Knight, Geraint Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367339986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367339982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.33d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vincent Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130794569983,"sku":"9780367339982","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b00b970-96ac-4990-adba-5f782cb2a7b7.jpg?v=1687471313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/applied-mathematics-with-open-source-software-vincent-knight-9780367339982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
