Preface

The topic of this book is data science, which is a field of study that has been growing rapidly for the past few decades. Today, more companies than ever before are investing in big data and data science to improve business performance, drive innovation, and create new revenue streams by building data products. According to LinkedIn's 2017 US Emerging Jobs Report, machine learning engineer, data scientist, and big data engineer rank among the top emerging jobs, and companies in a wide range of industries are seeking people with the requisite skills for those roles.

We will dive into topics from all three areas and solve complex problems. We will clean, explore, and analyze data in order to derive scientific and accurate conclusions. Machine learning and deep learning techniques will be applied to solve complex data tasks.
