We've covered a lot in this introductory chapter and have plenty more to do, but don't fret! We'll continue to use plenty of examples and activities throughout to help you remember what we're learning. Let's press forward on to the next chapter, where we'll begin to look at some data more closely and do some cleaning and data management, which is necessary to get us one step closer to modeling and analysis.
