Data analysis has been a hot topic for a number of years, and many future data scientists have backgrounds that are relatively light in mathematics. This slim volume provides a very approachable guide to the techniques of the subject, designed with such people in mind. Formulae are kept to a minimum, but the book’s scope is broad, introducing the basic ideas of probability and statistics and more advanced techniques such as generalised linear models, classification using logistic regression, and support-vector machines.

"And what is the use," thought Alice, "of a book without pictures or conversations in it?" -Lewis Carroll This book is written for modem undergraduate students – not the ideal stu dents that mathematics professors wish for (and who occasionally grace our campuses), but the students like many the author has taught: talented but ap preciating review and reinforcement of past course work; willing to work hard, but demanding context and motivation for the mathematics they are learning. To suit this audience, the author eschews density of topics and efficiency of presentation in favor of a gentler tone, a coherent story, digressions on mathe maticians, physicists and their notations, simple examples worked out in detail, and reinforcement of the basics. Dense and efficient texts play a crucial role in the education of budding (and budded) mathematicians and physicists. This book does not presume to improve on the classics in that genre. Rather, it aims to provide those classics with a large new generation of appreciative readers. This text introduces some basic constructs of modern symplectic geometry in the context of an old celestial mechanics problem, the two-body problem. We present the derivation of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion from Newton’s laws of gravitation, first in the style of an undergraduate physics course, and x Preface then again in the language of symplectic geometry. No previous exposure to symplectic geometry is required: we introduce and illustrate all necessary con structs.

Popular culture has taught us to picture the Old West as a land of men, whether it’s the lone hero on horseback or crowds of card players in a rough-and-tumble saloon. But the taming of the frontier involved plenty of women, too – and this book tells their stories.

Author: Chuck Wendig
Narrator: Adam Verner
Finally-a book of writing advice that accounts for all of the messy, perverse, practical, and inexplicable parts of being a human who writes. The truth is that all of the "writing rules" you’ve learned are bullshit. Sure, they work for some people, but the likelihood that they’ll work for you-unique butterfly of a person that you are-is slim. That doesn’t mean you’re out of luck! There is meaningful advice to be had in the writing world, and Chuck Wendig is here to deliver it. In this hilarious guide, Wendig will help you discover more about yourself as a writer, parse through your quirks and foibles, and help you figure out the best way for you to get words on the page-without destroying yourself along the way. With behind-the-scenes stories of Wendig’s own writing struggles, sections on debunking popular advice, self-care tips, and more footnotes than are strictly necessary (or legally recommended by scientists), Gentle Writing Advice will give the unvarnished truth about the writing process and remind you of what’s actually important-taking care of the writer. (That’s you, by the way.)
