Summary: "Data science is the alchemy that allows us to turn all the 1s and 0s floating around out there into knowledge. Data Science For Dummies will open your eyes to everything data can do (and a few things it can't). This is the easy introduction to everything from wrangling data to prediction models, and even sprucing up the results with visualizations. Why would you want to do all that? This book will set you straight on that point, too, with real-world applications and examples you can take to the bank (or wherever else the data insights tell you to go)"--Publisher marketing.
