Liang @ryanrhymes and I just finished the first draft of our book - OCaml Scientific Computing ! You can read the draft here: https://lnkd.in/dSE6hEg
This book is a summary of our long-term dedication to functional programming and numerical computing. While the entrance bar to data science, ML, and AI becomes lower and lower thanks to the fast development of various powerful frameworks and toolkits. The tool itself remains a black box and mysterious to many data scientists in reality.
This book gives you a very different angle to look at data science, by illustrating how we, hardcore computer scientists and engineering computing experts, build up a high performance numerical system from scratch. In some sense, the book will help you to find the missing link between a basic pseudo random number generator to a fancy deep neural network application.
This book is not for those who just want to âcast the spellâ, but rather for those who want to âmake the magic more magicâ
