Are you thinking about learning data science? Do you know how to code in Python and want to take your learning further? Data is more available today than it ever has been and in much larger quantities than ever before. And it's only set to increase. Because of that, we need to evolve in how we process data, and that's where data science comes in. But let's not forget machine learning, a subset of data science that offers us ways of examining and analyzing data to draw meaningful insights.

awkward phrasing, competent narration
This is much easier to follow than the auto-generated audio version and I commend the narrator for being as clear and accurate as he is, despite the grammatical and wording errors in the text - which suggest at least some of it was written by a non-native speaker of English, and that the text was not properly quality assured for consistency and accuracy. THe basic content is helpful and overall well written, but inconsistent use of language (leaving out "the" in some cases and including it in others for example) hinders the usability. THe book however has the same problems and has the added problem that the page size is so small in the pdf, that code wraps to a second line or a second page, making it more confusing to follow.

Be a programmer, try this book.
Do you love Python Programming / Machine Learning? I highly recommend this book to anyone who really wants to understand the "how’s" and "whys" of programming using Python. As the authors state, the book won't teach one to program in one day- or in several days... But it will give you a solid foundation in programming with Python so that you will feel confident and will know what you are doing and why you are doing it.

This book is a refreshing departure from the extremely topical approach taken by some other books. It goes beyond memorizing and regurgitating and, instead, focuses on comprehension- therefore enabling the reader to truly understand what he/ she is doing. The book is full of information and is extremely user- friendly and easy to learn.

Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.

Story
On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Story
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Story
In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried 58 shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.

Story
Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

Can a well-programmed machine do anything a human can - only better? Complex algorithms are buying our groceries, picking our partners, and driving our investments. They can navigate more data than a doctor or lawyer and act with greater precision. For many years we've taken solace in the notion that they can't create. But now that algorithms can learn and adapt, does the future of creativity belong to machines too?
