Introduction to Python: with Applications in Optimization, Image and Video Processing, and Machine Learning is intended primarily for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students in quantitative sciences such as mathematics, computer science, and
engineering. In addition to this, the book is written in such a way that it can also serve as a
self-contained handbook for professionals working in quantitative fields including finance,
IT, and many other industries where programming is a useful or essential tool.
The book is written to be accessible and useful to those with no prior experience of Python, but those who are somewhat more adept will also benefit from the more advanced
material that comes later in the book.
