Ren J., Wang H. Mathematical Methods in Data Science

Elsevier, 2023. — 260 p.Mathematical Methods in Data Science introduce a new approach based on network analysis to integrate Big Data into the framework of ordinary and partial differential equations for data analysis and prediction. The mathematics is accompanied by examples and problems arising in Data Science to demonstrate advanced mathematics, particularly data-driven differential equations. Chapters also cover network analysis and ordinary and partial differential equations based on recent published and unpublished results. Finally, the book introduces a new approach based on network analysis to integrate Big Data into the framework of ordinary and partial differential equations for data analysis and prediction.There are several books on mathematical methods in Data Science. All these related books primarily focus on linear algebra, optimization, and statistical methods. However, network analysis and ordinary and partial differential equation models play an increasingly important role in Data Science.Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that aims to use scientific approaches to extract meaning and insights from data. Today almost all kinds of organizations are generating exponential amounts of data. A closely related and overlapping field, Machine Learning, uses computer algorithms to find patterns and features in massive amounts of data to make decisions and predictions. To be able to truly understand data science and machine learning, it is essential to appreciate the underlying mathematics and statistics, as well as computing algorithms. Mathematical knowledge in linear algebra, calculus, optimization, probability, and statistics is essential for data science. For historical reasons, courses in data science and machine learning tend to be taught in statistical and computer science departments, where the emphasis is on statistics and computer algorithms.Combines a broad spectrum of mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, network analysis, and ordinary and partial differential equations for data science.
