Data Science from Scratch by Joel Grus: Review | Learn python, data science and machine learning

This is a review of Data Science from Scratch by Joel Grus. This book will teach you the methods used for data science and machine learning. First it will show you the basics of the python language, then how to visualize data with matplotlib. It moves on to probability and statistics and then machine learning methods. After explaining the methods it starts to build up functions in python that will apply what has been learnt. It's an excellent introduction to Data Science. You can buy the book here:-

This book provides the basic theory of machine learning algorithms and their implementation in base Python (i.e. without numpy and pandas). It should be considered both an introduction to machine learning theory and a guide to Python coding to quite a high level. It's perfect for someone who wants to work in developing production machine learning systems

It sounds like book is great value, even when you will use pre-made, library functions. As an analogy: for a movie director with a super modern camera and lens, it's still very useful to know how the first cameras worked.

what are you currently reading? i would love some reviews on practical statistics for data science. And packt statistics for data science.

looks pretty good, going to Amazon now. Thanks

So it truly is as the subtitle of the book states: Data Science From Scratch, “First Principles with Python”

[carlodavid]

Can you review hands on machine learning with scikit-learn and tensorflow book, thanks

[sergiodepaoli]

Do you suggest this or “Python for Data Analysis” of McKinney? For a beginner

[AsianSake]

Is there any playlist for this book? I am not able to understand code.

[danielalves]

My name is Daniel, i'm from Brazil. I want to start learn Data Science, is better buy the book and learn by myself or wait for the course?

[skshahra]

can you suggest me a good book for data structure and algorithm in python?

[scrapethebottom]

Python Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas or this?

[Wasim_Raza]

Sir can you plz give review
Doing dataScience book. I cant afford two book at a time. I have to buy any one.

[charbelsarkis]

I'm afraid i'm not gonna be able to understand them clearly.
