This book supplements the DM for CS Specialization at Coursera and contains many interactive puzzles, autograded quizzes, and code snippets. They are intended to help you to discover important ideas in discrete mathematics on your own. By purchasing the book, you will get all updates of the book free of charge when they are released.
Over the years I have invented and/or collected various clever and/or stupid ways of solving Fizz Buzz. In this book are ten solutions I found particularly interesting, each one the inspiration for a discussion of different aspects of coding, Python, testing, Fizz Buzz, mathematics, software design, technical interviewing, and related topics.
Statistics is the language of uncertainty. AI is the science of learning from data. Together, they provide a powerful foundation for modern intelligent systems.Applied Statistics with AI: Hypothesis Testing and Inference for Modern Models is designed for learners who want to understand how statistical methods can be applied to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and modern research.The book begins with essential statistical foundations, including data types, sampling, preprocessing, descriptive statistics, visualization, probability, and probability distributions. It then builds toward statistical inference, covering estimation, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Bayesian estimation, hypothesis testing, p-values, confidence intervals, Type I and Type II errors, and statistical significance.Readers will learn how classical statistical tests such as t-tests, ANOVA, and Chi-Square tests can be used in AI-related contexts, along with non-parametric methods such as Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.The book then connects statistics directly to Machine Learning through regression, model evaluation, cross-validation, resampling, feature selection, PCA, regularization, A/B testing, and statistical power.Advanced chapters explore Bayesian inference, MCMC, causal inference, uncertainty quantification in deep learning, and confidence estimation in AI predictions. Real-world case studies demonstrate how statistical inference can support applications in healthcare, finance, Natural Language Processing, and Computer Vision.The book also addresses an increasingly important dimension of AI: responsible statistical practice. Readers will explore bias detection, fairness, ethical hypothesis testing, and the responsible interpretation of AI research results.Finally, the book looks ahead to automated statistical inference, AI-driven hypothesis generation, and emerging research challenges.Whether you are a student learning statistics for AI, a researcher evaluating machine learning experiments, a data scientist analyzing evidence, or an AI practitioner seeking stronger statistical foundations, this book provides a structured path from fundamental concepts to modern applications.Understand the data. Test the hypothesis. Quantify uncertainty. Make better AI decisions.
How should an AI system make decisions when information is incomplete?How can machines quantify uncertainty instead of merely producing predictions?How can intelligent systems continuously update their beliefs as new evidence emerges?The answer lies in Bayesian Mathematics.In Bayesian Mathematics for AI Decision Making, Anshuman Mishra explores the powerful framework that enables modern AI systems to reason probabilistically, model uncertainty, and make rational decisions in complex environments.From Bayesian inference and probabilistic programming to uncertainty-aware deep learning, reinforcement learning, healthcare diagnostics, robotics, and financial forecasting, this book reveals how Bayesian thinking is shaping the next generation of Artificial Intelligence.Learn how uncertainty becomes knowledge—and how probability becomes intelligence.
A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods.

Two people wake with no names, no past, and no way out — only a maze built entirely from the rules of logic, where every proof buys survival and every mistake steals a piece of who they are. Something ancient is watching, something dangerous still loves one of them, and a machine dead for twenty years is starting, impossibly, to wake. Propositional Logic: The Unseen Maze turns the hardest ideas in mathematics into a fight for two people's minds — and asks what's left of you once you've proven everything except who you are.
