Data-Driven Science and Engineering

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This is a very timely, comprehensive and well written book in what is now one of the most dynamic and impactful areas of modern applied mathematics. Data science is rapidly taking center stage in our society. The subject cannot be ignored, either by domain scientists or by researchers in applied mathematics who intend to develop algorithms that the community will use. The book by Brunton and Kutz is an excellent text for a beginning graduate student, or even for a more advanced researcher interested in this field. The main theme seems to be applied optimization. The subtopics include dimensional reduction, machine learning, dynamics and control and reduced order methods. These were well chosen and well covered.' Stanley Osher, University of California 'Professors Kutz and Brunton bring both passion and rigor to this most timely subject matter. Data analytics is the important topic for engineering in the twenty-first century and this book covers the far-reaching subject matter with clarity and code examples. Bravo!' Steve M. Legensky, Founder and General Manager, Intelligent Light 'Brunton and Kutz provide a lively and comprehensive treatise on machine learning and data mining algorithms as applied to physical systems arising in science and engineering and their control. They provide an abundance of examples and wisdom that will be of great value to students and practitioners alike.' Tim Colonius, California Institute of Technology 'This is a cleanly bound, compact book with medium weight coated paper and crisp text. There are many well-composed figures, most of them in color, with good explanatory captions, and sample code for almost all computational examples. While the code is for MATLAB, it is well commented and should not be too difficult to translate to Python or other computer languages ... This is a fine book, and quite good for a first edition. It is clearly written with many examples and informative figures has a very useful bibliography and many good programming examples. I would use it for a course without reservation, and it has a permanent place on my bookshelf as a reference.' John Starrett, Mathematical Association of America Reviews 'Throughout, topics are discussed with theoretical depth and accompanied by a substantial bibliography. The authors also make use of software code snips.' R. S. Stansbury, Choice From reviews of the first edition 'Clearly this book covers a lot of ground, and overall it does so very well. The descriptions of algorithms are clear and full of insights, and the examples are well chosen to illustrate the use of the methods and to pique the interest of the reader ... Overall, this book gives an engaging and highly informative introduction to the power, implementation, [and] theory of data-driven approaches to science and engineering. I expect that one could develop a very interesting and popular course based on this book, which would be accessible to graduate students and advanced undergraduates.' Jeff Moehlis, SIAM Reviews
