Introduction to Data Science in Biostatistics: Using R, the Tidyverse Ecosystem, and APIs defines and explores the term "Data Science" and discusses the many professional skills and competencies affiliated with the industry. With Data Science being a leading indicator of interest in STEM fields, the text also investigates this ongoing growth of demand in these spaces, with the goal of providing readers who are entering the professional world with foundational knowledge of required skills, job trends, and salary expectations. The text provides a historical overview of computing and the field's progression to R as it exists today, including the multitude of packages and functions associated with both Base R and the tidyverse ecosystem. Readers will learn how to use R to work with real data, as well as how to communicate results to external stakeholders. A distinguishing feature of this text is its emphasis on the emerging use of APIs to obtain data. This text was developed to assist beginning students and early stages researchers in their attempt to make sense of how software can be used in biostatistics, viewing an all-pervasive concept of biostatistics in the large and the many disciplines associated with biostatistics. To meet this challenge, R was selected as the most appropriate programming language, calling on Base R (e.g., the many functions made available when R is first downloaded) and supporting packages (e.g., the thousands of auxiliary R software collections that provide functionality far beyond what is available in Base R, especially packages associated with the Tidyverse ecosystem).

This book guides the reader through the process of graphic communication with a particular focus on representing data and processes. It considers a variety of common graphic communication scenarios among those that arise most frequently in practical applications. Graphic communication is a form of visual communication that employs images and graphics to convey information, ideas, and messages. It plays a fundamental role in several aspects of our personal and professional lives including education and learning, science and research, brainstorming, and decision-making as well as marketing and branding. This volume aims at guiding the reader through the process of graphic communication with particular focus on representing data and processes. It considers a variety of common graphic communication scenarios among those that arise most frequently in practical applications, e.g., representing magnitudes, proportions, relations, groups, geographical data, timelines, etc. At the time of writing Python is consistently ranked as the most popular programming language in the world. As for data visualization, there are already a number of packages available: Bokeh, HoloViz, Matplotlib, Plotly and Seaborn are just some examples. In writing this book we therefore had to made a choice about which package(s) to consider for the examples presented herein. Then, for each type of chart presented in the book, we proposed the implementation that we thought was the most clear and concise. When there were substantially equivalent solutions, we favored Matplotlib, both due to personal experience and the historical importance of this library.

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. Python is a high-level programming language that supports procedural, imperative, object-oriented, and functional modes. This book covers the first three modes. Python has a simple easy to learn syntax. Python supports modules, libraries, and packages, encouraging program modularity and code reuse. The book may be divided in two parts. The first part, comprised of Chapters 1 to 8, can be used by a person interested in learning Python from scratch; that is, he/she does not have any knowledge of Python. The learning goes from installing Python to implementing functions and generating complex plots. The second part covers advanced topics such as optimization, image and video processing, and Machine Learning using Keras, TensorFlow, and neural networks. Throughout the book, the use of external modules or libraries makes the Python programs very powerful.

Understanding and employing cryptography has become central for securing virtually any digital application, whether user app, cloud service, or even medical implant. Heavily revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of Understanding Cryptography follows the unique approach of making modern cryptography accessible to a broad audience, requiring only a minimum of prior knowledge. After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications—ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies. The book has many features that make it a unique source for students, practitioners and researchers. We focus on practical relevance by introducing the majority of cryptographic algorithms that are used in modern real-world applications. With respect to symmetric algorithms, we introduce the block ciphers AES, DES and triple-DES as well as PRESENT, which is an important example of a lightweight cipher. We also describe three popular stream ciphers. Regarding asymmetric cryptography, we cover all three public-key families currently in use: RSA, discrete logarithm schemes and elliptic curves.
