Foundations of Data Science [pdf]
There&#x27;s a great quote by some bodybuilder. &quot;Everybody wants to get big, but no one wants to lift heavy weights.&quot;<p>Paraphrasing this to data science: &quot;Everybody wants to have software provide them insights from data, but no one wants to learn any math.&quot;<p>The top two comments here illustrate this perfectly. Anyone who is serious about learning data science will read this book and will not shy away from learning math. You can also learn about data pipelines, but that&#x27;s not a substitute for what&#x27;s in this book.<p>There are also a variety of other algorithmically focused machine learning books. They are also not a substitute for this book.
