Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python

Very good book, I highly recommend it for early stage Data scientists

It’s definitely from the ground up - I found it useful to revisit the maths as well as seeing the code - well with the price of the book

This is a good book. It's been updated for Python 3 so you won't miss out on any of the new features.It's definitely not for complete beginners. If you have a foundational knowledge of python then you'll understand some of the concepts outlined. It's also not a tutorial book either, the best way to use this book is to find a part of it and apply it to a data set.

This book covers a lot of ground with good explanations and also good code examples. Highly recommended.

There is plenty of good content but seems aimed at people with much more math background than me. Also not for python novice.

I was enjoying this book until I got to the Chapters requiring use of the Scratch files. I spend hours trying to get them to work and to no avail. If you are selling a book for £30 everything should be ready to go. Scouring GitHub for information on how to use a file required by a large portion of the book is unacceptable. Returned.

The content is good. However I do not understand why it is printed in black and white, not easy to read especially for codes. It is not a “traditional” book, look like a print from printers. Not recommend to buy print copy. If you like the content, buy an electronic copy.

This book is actually 380 pages long, not 500 as reported

Explained nicely

Lo pedí el jueves en la noche y llego el domingo al medio día! Muy bien empaquetado, ya tenia por varios meses este libro en mi carrito

Mr. Grus' book is one of the better data science book I have set my eyes on.His writing style is friendly and informal. Despite this he covers the mathematical and Computational topics in reasonable depth and always points to further reading at the end of chapters.The fact that all code used in the book is also explained therein makes the algorithms very graspable.I would recommend this book anybody who wants to either start with data science or fill in some gaps like was the case with me.I would love read more books written by Mr. Grus'. I have become a fan.

There were no damages and the papers were thickGrey Scale editionNumber of pages: 384

The book is useful to grasp the basic concept behind data science. However it gets pretty messy as the topics become more complex, especially when the python code is shown without too much of explanations. If you need a book to learn python for data science, there are many other alternatives.
