Need to turn programming skills into effective data science skills? This book helps you connect mathematics, programming, and business analysis. You’ll feel confident asking—and answering—complex, sophisticated questions of your data, making abstract and raw statistics into actionable ideas. Going through the data science pipeline, you'll clean and prepare data and learn effective data mining strategies and techniques to gain a comprehensive view of how the data science puzzle fits together. You’ll learn fundamentals of computational mathematics and statistics and pseudo-code used by data scientists and analysts. You’ll learn machine learning, discovering statistical models that help control and navigate even the densest datasets, and learn powerful visualizations that communicate what your data means.
