Description
This introduction to analytic concepts in computer science covers essential mathematical topics that are often overlooked in traditional courses. Calculus, complex numbers, statistics, and linear algebra are presented with a focus on their applications in modern computer science.
The emphasis is on the practical uses of these fields, including machine learning, data science, computational game theory, and optimization. This book aims to provide students with a solid understanding of these topics without delving into extensive mathematical exposition.
Written by Professor Paul Dunne, this book reflects his teaching experience at the University of Liverpool, where he has taught courses on computability and complexity theory, algorithms, operating systems, and more.
