The book begins by introducing the concept of mathematical modeling and its significance in solving practical problems. It then takes readers through a journey of various mathematical models and demonstrates how Python can be used as a tool to implement and work with these models effectively.One of the book's strengths is its emphasis on hands-on learning. It provides practical examples and exercises that allow readers to apply mathematical models to real-life scenarios. This hands-on approach not only enhances understanding but also equips readers with valuable problem-solving skills.Throughout the book, readers will explore a wide range of mathematical concepts and their applications, from basic principles to more advanced topics. The book also covers optimization techniques, which are essential for finding the best solutions to complex problems.Whether you are a student looking to learn mathematical modeling or a professional seeking to apply these techniques in your work, this book provides a solid foundation. It is written in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for readers with various levels of mathematical and programming expertise.In conclusion, "A Handbook of Mathematical Models with Python" is a practical and user-friendly guide that demystifies mathematical modeling and demonstrates how to implement it using Python. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills and apply mathematics to real-world challenges.

This book is a concise, 100-page guide that provides a quick yet insightful overview of mathematical models and their connection to machine learning. As a senior machine learning engineer, I found this book to be a helpful introduction for those who are beginning their journey in data science or those who feel lacking in math knowledge. It effectively links fundamental mathematical concepts with Python applications in machine learning, offering practical examples and use cases. While the book is an excellent starting point for understanding the interplay between math and machine learning, it's important to note that it doesn't delve into deep technical details. For readers seeking in-depth mathematical explanations, I would recommend more mathematically intensive books. Nevertheless, for a clear, introductory understanding of how mathematics underpins machine learning algorithms, Dr. Sarkar's book is a valuable and accessible resource.

While most ML books delve straight into applications, this book describes, in detail, what goes on mathematically under the hood - without being overwhelming. It starts with describing some of the most common algorithms that any Data Scientist/Statistician uses (like PCA, SVM, Linear regression, neural-nets) and their applications. Later it also describes MCMC chains, Kalman filters etc. along with graph optimizations (travelling salesperson).One of the most common mistake that a data scientist does is treating everything as an ML prediction problem. This book talks about scenarios where one would apply linear programming (PuLP), network modelling etc. to come up with the correct solution.Each chapter has plenty of follow along example in python using commonly available libraries. The author also mentions a lot of great online resources if you want to delve further into any topic.All in all this is a great quick read if you are looking to refresh your understanding or even starting to explore what all methods should exists in your problem solving toolbox.
