Successful applications of artificial intelligence have already been extensively
introducedintoourlives.Therealreadyexistsomecommercialsoftwaredeveloped

In this book, we will discuss some of the methods related to mathematics,

is to come up with a common ground and interdisciplinary approach for both the
problemsandsuggestsolutionsinanintegrativeway.
In addition, we provide simple and to-the-point explanations so that it will be
possible for our readers to make conversions from mathematical operations into
programme dimension. The applications in the book cover three different datasets
