About the Author

Ivan Idris has an MSc in Experimental Physics. His graduation thesis had a strong emphasis on applied computer science. After graduating, he worked for several companies as a Java developer, data warehouse developer, and QA analyst. His main professional interests are Business Intelligence, Big Data, and Cloud Computing. He enjoys writing clean, testable code and interesting technical articles. He is the author of NumPy 1.5 Beginner's Guide and NumPy Cookbook, Packt Publishing. You can find more information and a blog with a few NumPy examples at ivanidris.net.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the reviewers and the team at Packt Publishing for making this book possible. Also, I would like to thank my teachers, professors, and colleagues who taught me about science and programming. Last, but not least, I would like to acknowledge my parents, family, and friends for their support.
