A Hands-On Introduction to Data Science

Chirag Shah, University of Washington

Publication date
Digital publication date: 01 February 2020
Physical publication date: 02 April 2020

This book introduces the field of data science in a practical and


accessible manner, using a hands-on approach that assumes no prior
knowledge of the subject. The foundational ideas and techniques of
data science are provided independently from technology, allowing
students to easily develop a firm understanding of the subject without
a strong technical background, as well as being presented with
material that will have continual relevance even after tools and
technologies change. Using popular data science tools such as Python
and R, the book offers many examples of real-life applications, with
practice ranging from small to big data. A suite of online material for
both instructors and students provides a strong supplement to the

book, including datasets, chapter slides, solutions, sample exams and
curriculum suggestions. This entry-level textbook is ideally suited to readers from a range of
disciplines wishing to build a practical, working knowledge of data science.

Key features
Almost everything in the book is accompanied with examples and practice - both in-chapter
and end-of-chapter so students are more engaged because they can use hands-on
experiences to see how theories relate to solving practical problems
Assumes no prior technical background or computing knowledge and lowers the barrier for
entering the field of data science so that students from a range of disciplines can benefit from
a more accessible introduction to data science
Supplemented by a generous set of material for instructors, including curriculum suggestions
and syllabi, slides for each chapter, datasets, program scripts, answers and solutions to each
exercise, as well as sample exams and projects which gives instructors end-to-end support for
teaching a data science course
