Opis

This book is aimed at a broad segment of readers who wish to learn how to use open-source software to solve problems in applied mathematics.Each chapter starts with a problem, gives an overview of the relevant theory, shows a solution approach in R and in Python, and finally gives wider context by including a number of published references.
