MATH FOR SCIENTISTS - NATASHA MAURITS BRANISLAV...

This book reviews math topics relevant to non-mathematics students and scientists  but which
they may not have seen or studied for a while. These math issues can range from reading
mathematical symbols  to using complex numbers  dealing with equations involved in calculating
medication equivalents  the General Linear Model (GLM) used in e.g. neuroimaging analysis 
finding the minimum of a function  independent component analysis  or filtering approaches.
Almost every student or scientist  will at some point run into mathematical formulas or ideas
in scientific papers that may be hard to understand  given that formal math education may be
some years ago. In this book we will explain the theory behind many of these mathematical ideas
and expressions and provide readers with the tools to better understand them. We will revisit
high school mathematics and extend and relate this to the mathematics you need to understand
the math you may encounter in the course of your research. This book will help you understand
the math and formulas in the scientific papers you read. To achieve this goal  each chapter
mixes theory with practical pen-and-paper exercises such that you (re)gain experience with
solving math problems yourself. Mnemonics will be taught whenever possible. To clarify the math
and help readers apply it  each chapter provides real-world and scientific examples.
