Elevate your machine learning projects with NetworkX, PuLP, and linalg
Mathematical modeling is the art of transforming a business problem into a well-defined mathematical formulation. Its emphasis on interpretability is particularly crucial when deploying a model to support high-stake decisions in sensitive sectors like pharmaceuticals and healthcare.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Understand core concepts of mathematical models and their relevance in solving problems
- Explore various approaches to modeling and learning using Python
- Work with tested mathematical tools to gather meaningful insights
- Blend mathematical modeling with machine learning to find optimal solutions to business problems
- Optimize ML models built with business data, apply them to understand their impact on the business, and address critical questions
- Apply mathematical optimization for data-scarce problems where the objective and constraints are known

Following is what you need for this book: If you are a budding data scientist seeking to augment your journey with mathematics, this book is for you. Researchers and R&D scientists will also be able to harness the concepts covered to their full potential. To make the best use of this book, a background in linear algebra, differential equations, basics of statistics, data types, data structures, and numerical algorithms will be useful.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapters 3-9).
You will need Python 3.0 or higher versions to run the code in respective chapters. Python libraries required to execute a particular method have been imported (compatible versions with Python 3.0) in the code, which can be installed readily in the notebook or Python environment of your system.
System requirements are mentioned in the following table:
| Software/Hardware | Operating System requirements |
|---|---|
| Python 3.0 or higher | Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any) |
| Python libraries | Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any) |
