Getting started in data science can be daunting, but this insightful book provides a clear introduction to the field. Based on Columbia University's Introduction to Data Science class, it covers essential topics such as statistical inference, exploratory data analysis, and algorithms. Data scientists from companies like Google, Microsoft, and eBay share their expertise through case studies and code examples, making it an ideal resource for those with linear algebra, probability, and statistics knowledge, plus programming experience. Topics include spam filters, Naive Bayes, data wrangling, logistic regression, financial modeling, recommendation engines, causality, data visualization, social networks, and data engineering. Written by collaboration between course instructor Rachel Schutt and data science consultant Cathy O'Neil, this book offers a practical guide to getting started in data science.
