Practice makes perfect Pandas. Work out your Pandas skills against dozens of real-world challenges, each carefully designed to build an intuitive knowledge of essential Pandas tasks. Discover 50 exercises that will strengthen your Pandas skills to a level of automatic fluency. You’ll test yourself against common pandas challenges such as data cleaning, and explore real-world datasets such as New York Taxis, Kickstarter projects, and global tourist spending. Detailed explanations help guide your success and make your new skills stick. You’ll even get a big boost to productivity, with tasks that used to mean a trip to StackOverflow now a natural part of your skillset. Pandas approaches problems differently than Python. The syntax is the same, but the data structures are different, and the way you structure your solutions is also different. Pandas is so vast that it’s easy to lose track of all the techniques. And unlike the core Python language, which tries to adhere to the maxim “There should be only one way to do it,” there are often many ways to accomplish the same task in Pandas. Knowing which of these ways is fastest to execute and easiest to maintain isn’t always obvious, even (or especially) if you’re an experienced Python developer.

Build AI-Enhanced Audio Plugins with C++ explains how to embed Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology inside tools that can be used by audio and music professionals, through worked examples using Python, C++ and audio APIs which demonstrate how to combine technologies to produce professional, AI-enhanced creative tools. The first aim of this book is to show you how to build AI-enhanced music software. But I will take a different approach to many other AI and signal processing books. I have carefully developed this approach to solve specific problems and to address particular challenges you will face as a developer of AI-enhanced music software. My second aim is to show you how to construct the technology in a way that makes it accessible to musicians and audio professionals. Knowing how to build and run AI-enhanced music systems on your machine is one thing. A quirky Python script hacked together to work on your setup is acceptable for research and experimentation but you will have trouble getting musicians to use it. If you are a student programmer at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, you will find new knowledge in all areas of the book. You might be assigned all or part of this book as a textbook for a course you are studying, or you might have discovered the book independently. The book will teach you some C++ programming along the way, as well as helping you to understand how to use an IDE and associated tools to develop software. If you are a Machine Learning engineer or AI scientist wishing to apply your skills in the music software domain, the book will help you do that. You will be familiar with the concepts of machine learning models, training and inference, but you will likely need to become more familiar with digital signal processing techniques. As a Machine Learning engineer, you likely work primarily in Python or a specialised language. The book covers some Python but is mainly focused on C++ programming.

Learn more about Gradle features with code snippets and short articles. The articles and code will get you started quickly and will give more insight in Gradle. When I started to learn about Gradle I wrote done little code snippets with features of Gradle I found interesting. To access my notes from different locations I wrote the snippets with a short explanation in a blog: Messages from mrhaki. I labeled the post as Gradle Goodness, because I thought this is good stuff, and that is how the Gradle Goodness series began. The blog posts turned out to be a useful resource for people learning and using Groovy in their every day programming. The Gradle Goodness Notebook contains the blog posts about Gradle previously mentioned on my blog. The posts have been edited slightly so they can be used for the book. The book gives a broad overview of all the great features we can find in the Gradle build tool.

The book is self-contained and includes the desired mathematical background. The book covers most of the data structures and classical graphs algorithms, string algorithms, matroid algorithms, linear algebra algorithms, flow and circulation algorithms, linear programming solvers, and integer algorithms. It covers several topics which are rarely covered in the existing textbooks. Pseudocode is provided for every algorithm. Proof of correctness and the complexity analysis is given for every algorithm. Examples are also provided to help explain several algorithms. The book is designed for an introductory as well as an advance course in the design and analysis of algorithms. It is intended for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of computer science and engineering. Some of the topics covered in the book are as follows. i) String homomorphism and isomorphism ii) Detailed proof of graph matching algorithm including augmenting path computation iii) Gallai Edmonds decomposition algorithm iv) Matroid Intersection algorithm Klein. There are excellent textbooks1 available for an undergraduate course on algorithms. However, the same cannot be said for graduate level books on the subject. A graduate level book requires rigorous treatment of two issues for each algorithm: the correctness proof and the time/space complexity analysis. The motive behind writing this book was to develop a textbook covering most of the traditional topics but with complete proof of correctness and complexity analysis. The book is not only for a graduate student but also for an advance undergraduate student as well. It is self contained so that an undergraduate student can follow the subject without having to study other books.

This book provides detailed and practical information for practitioners to understand why they should choose certification. It covers the pros and cons, and shows how to design to comply with the specifications (FIPS-140, SP800 documents, and related international specs such as AIS31, GM/T-0005-2021, etc.). It also covers how to perform compliance testing. By the end of the book, you will know how to interact with accredited certification labs and with related industry forums (CMUF, ICMC). In short, the book covers everything you need to know to make sound designs. There is a process for FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standard) certification for cryptographic products sold to the US government. And there are parallel certifications in other countries, resulting in a non-trivial and complex process. A large market of companies has grown to help companies navigate the FIPS-140 certification process. And there are accredited certification labs you must contract toget the certification. Although this was once a fairly niche topic, it is no longer so. Other industries―banking, military, healthcare, air travel, and more―have adopted FIPS certification for cryptographic products. For hardware and software engineers or managers of engineering programs that include any form of cryptographic functionality, including silicon vendors, library vendors, OS vendors, and system integrators.

An accessible undergraduate textbook in computational neuroscience that provides an introduction to the mathematical and computational modeling of neurons and networks of neurons. Understanding the brain is a major frontier of modern science. Given the complexity of neural circuits, advancing that understanding requires mathematical and computational approaches. This accessible undergraduate textbook in computational neuroscience provides an introduction to the mathematical and computational modeling of neurons and networks of neurons. Starting with the biophysics of single neurons, Robert Rosenbaum incrementally builds to explanations of neural coding, learning, and the relationship between biological and artificial neural networks. Examples with real neural data demonstrate how computational models can be used to understand phenomena observed in neural recordings. Based on years of classroom experience, the material has been carefully streamlined to provide all the content needed to build a foundation for modeling neural circuits in a one-semester course. This book assumes a basic background in calculus (derivatives and integrals), linear algebra (matrix products and eigenvalues), and probability or statistics (expectations and variance). Figures in the book are accompanied by Python notebooks containing the code needed to reproduce the figure. See the book’s website for links to the Python notebooks. The file name of each Python notebook is referenced in the associated figure caption. If you are not familiar with Python or NumPy, or if you just need a review, see the notebook PythonIntro.ipynb for a brief introduction to Python programming.

This book is for curious people who are eager to learn some of the most fundamental topics of computer and software engineering. The topics presented in this books, although very interesting in author's opinion, are some of the most underrated and least discussed fields of computer programming. This book is about the old technology, the technology we are using everyday, but we refuse to learn and extend as an average engineer. The literature around each of those topics is so large that, only specialists will ever be motivated to learn them. The Super Programmer is for the programmers who don’t want to limit their knowledge and skills on a very narrow area of software engineering. The Super Programmer is for programmers who can’t sleep at night when they don’t exactly understand how something in their computer works. The Super Programmer is all about ideas, and how they have evolved through time, leading to the impressive technology we have today. I wanted this book to have least dependency to technologies, so that the codes do not get obsolete over time. I first thought of writing the codes in some pseudo-coding language, but I personally believe that pseudo-codes are not coherent enough, so I decided to choose and stick with a popular language like Python, which as of today, is a programming language that is known by many other engineers and scientists.
