Book Description
Data science is here to stay. The tremendous growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of data has a substantial impact on every aspect of a business. While data continues to grow exponentially, accuracy remains a problem. This is where data scientists play a decisive role.
A data scientist analyzes data, discovers new insights, paints a picture, and creates a vision. And a competent data scientist will provide a business with the competitive edge it needs and to address pressing business problems.
Data Science Crash Course for Beginners with Python presents you with a hands-on approach to learn data science fast. This book presents you with the tools and packages you need to kick-start data science projects to resolve problems of a practical nature. Special emphasis is laid on the main stages of a data science pipeline—data acquisition, data preparation, exploratory data analysis, data modeling and evaluation, and interpretation of the results.
The author simplifies your learning by providing detailed, guided instructions through everything. The step-by-step description of the installation of the software you need to implement the various data science techniques in this book is guaranteed to make your learning easier. So, right from the beginning, you can experiment with the practical aspects of data science. By the end of this course, you will have a solid grasp on the essential concepts of data science and its most fundamental implementations, laying the groundwork for your next steps no matter your chosen direction.
