Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

A book about how to be a scientist the modern, open-source way.

This book presents both the fundamentals and advanced topics of finite element analysis and design optimization in a concise and pedagogically structured manner

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.

These are the fundamental principles of greenkeeping, if one agrees that greenkeeping is all about the growth rate of the grass and modifying that rate to get the desired surface conditions. Here's what influences the growth rate, how turfgrass managers can think about those factors, and how they can be adjusted to achieve the desired growth rate.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.

I wanted to understand how ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) really work, so I read a lot of books, watched YouTube videos, asked hundreds of questions, and wrote it all down. This book is the result. If you want to understand how large language models like ChatGPT actually work, from tokens and vectors to transformers and training, this book will explain it in a clear, approachable way.

Artificial Intelligence has made a lot of promising breakthroughs, but is it up to the challenge of landing a lander on the moon? Find out yourself by learning the technique of genetic programming and see how well your lander fares.

Quantum computing is real, but is frankly surrounded by a thick fog of hype. Do you want to see it clearly, understand its realities, and even consider joining it as a professional software engineer?

Modelling the energy budget of an animal over its life cycle is a powerful tool to tackle many different applied and scientific questions in ecology and ecotoxicology. DEBkiss is a simplified version of the standard Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) animal model: easier to understand, easier to apply, but still extremely useful.

"What I cannot create, I do not understand" - Richard Feynman This book will guide you on your journey to deeper Machine Learning understanding by developing algorithms in Python from scratch! Learn why and when Machine learning is the right tool for the job and how to improve low performing models!

In my career, I have been doing research in both academic and industrial settings, experiencing both positive and negative aspects of doing research in practice. With these essays, I want to share the lessons I learned. The central theme of essays is the tension between the value of doing research in practice and difficulties that it brings.

HIDDEN’S EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE (1) All the four quantum numbers of electron depend upon a chance, which is beyond our control. (2) One electron can occupy the same quantum state, having all of its quantum numbers the same. (3) More than one proton can have its quantum numbers the same. (4) There is always a repeat in the quantum numbers of an electron.
