With this updated second edition, youll learn how many 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, author Joel Grus will help you get comfortable with the math and statistics at the core of data science, and with hacking skills you need to get started as a data scientist. Todays messy glut of data holds answers to questions no ones even thought to ask. This book provides you with the know-how to dig those answers out.
