Description

Data science libraries, frameworks, modules, and toolkits are great for doing data science, but they’re also a great way to dive into the discipline without in fact understanding data science. In this book, you’ll find out how most of the most fundamental data science tools and algorithms work by implementing them from scratch.

If you have an aptitude for mathematics and some programming skills, writer Joel Grus will allow you to get comfortable with the math and statistics at the core of data science, and with hacking skills you want to get started as a data scientist. Today’s messy glut of data holds answers to questions no one’s even thought to ask. This book will give you the know-how to dig those answers out.

  • Get a crash course in Python
  • Learn the basics of linear algebra, statistics, and probability—and keep in mind how and when they are used in data science
