Data science. Training course
In order to understand the world, it is necessary to collect and analyze data about it. Combining the latest technological trends provides new opportunities to apply data analysis to more complex tasks than ever before. The capacity of computer storage is increasing exponentially; data storage has now become so cheap that it is almost impossible for computer systems to forget anything. Sensor devices are increasingly controlling everything that can be observed: video streams, social media activities and the location of everything that moves. The network computing environment allows you to use huge numbers of machines to manipulate this data. Every time you do a Google search, hundreds of computers are involved, carefully examining all your previous actions, just to decide which advertisement is the best to demonstrate to you. The result of all this was the birth of data science, a new field dedicated to maximizing the value of vast collections of information. As a discipline, data science is somewhere at the intersection of statistics, computer science and machine learning, but it stands apart as an independent character. This book serves as an introduction to data science, focusing on the skills and principles needed to build systems designed to analyze and interpret data.
