Overview of this book

The updated edition of Applying Math with Python will help you solve complex problems in a wide variety of mathematical fields in simple and efficient ways. Old recipes have been revised for new libraries and several recipes have been added to demonstrate new tools such as JAX. You'll start by refreshing your knowledge of several core mathematical fields and learn about packages covered in Python's scientific stack, including NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. As you progress, you'll gradually get to grips with more advanced topics of calculus, probability, and networks (graph theory). Once you’ve developed a solid base in these topics, you’ll have the confidence to set out on math adventures with Python as you explore Python's applications in data science and statistics, forecasting, geometry, and optimization. The final chapters will take you through a collection of miscellaneous problems, including working with specific data formats and accelerating code. By the end of this book, you'll have an arsenal of practical coding solutions that can be used and modified to solve a wide range of practical problems in computational mathematics and data science.

An Introduction to Basic Packages, Functions, and Concepts

Before getting started on any practical recipes, we’ll use this opening chapter to introduce several core mathematical concepts and structures and their Python representations. We’ll look at basic numerical types, basic mathematical functions (trigonometric functions, exponential function, and logarithms), and matrices. Matrices are fundamental in most computational applications because of the connection between matrices and solutions of systems of linear equations. We’ll explore some of these applications in this chapter, but matrices will play an important role throughout this book.

We’ll cover the following main topics in this order:

  • Exploring Python numerical types
  • Understanding basic mathematical functions
  • Diving into the world of NumPy
  • Working with matrices and linear algebra

NumPy arrays and the basic mathematical functions we will see in this chapter will be...
