This weeks Data Science Book is " Essential Math for Data Science " by T. Nield. Here at Data For Science, we pride ourselves in taking a deep approach to the algorithms and models we employ. For this, good mathematical foundations are paramount. In his recent book T. Nield introduces the reader to enough of the mathematics underlying Data Science and Machine Learning to give you a head start in grokking both classic and state of the art algorithms that your likely to encounter in your career as a Data Scientist. A highly recommended read to anyone who wants to look inside the black boxes we use everyday.
