Critics Review
“Having taught data analytics at the introductory graduate level, I welcome the authors’ textbook as an essential resource for training well-grounded entry-level data scientists. … A data scientist shall provide competent data science professional services to a client. … Training in both the theory and practice of data analytics is a requirement for such competence. The authors’ textbook definitely provides a valuable resource for such training.” (Harry J. Foxwell, Computing Reviews, July 7, 2022)
