Summary
In this introductory chapter, we briefly go over the definitions of terms and tools we need for data analysis. Among the tools, MATLAB is the software package to use. The other tool is mathematics. Although much of the mathematics are not absolutely required before using this book, a person with a background in the relevant mathematics will always be better positioned with insight to learn the data analysis skills for real applications.
