The human brain cannot comprehend large volumes of data. The science of synthesizing data in predictable ways is called Data Science. Data Science: A Beginner's Guide tries to simplify the complex field of Data Science (a science of statistics) by citing real life instances. For example, the inhale/exhale pattern of human beings can be represented in the form of probability distribution curve.
Various studies have observed that this domain is probably the only one closest to human life. Computation of data sets using statistics is explained using Excel.
The concept of safe-zone is illustrated with the help of a new born baby conceived in a hospital. The variation in temperature triggers the baby and it is pacified when placed on the left side of the mother. This place is called a safe zone.
Regression defined as relationship between variables is established with the help of numericals and detailed analysis report generated in Excel.
The brief conceptual description of Linear Regression (Relationship between one dependent variable and 1 or more independent variables) and Multiple Linear Regression (Relationship between one dependent variable and between 2 or more independent variables) was understood by someone like me who is completely unfamiliar with Data Science.
The introduction beautifully summarizes the contents of each section. The integrated approach strengthens the fundamentals and gives students a firm grasp of the material that is crucial for academic study and research. Professor C.Raju has streamlined this complex field of study by co-relating the subject matter with familiar instances.

An interesting book on data science that begins with an example about usage of data when a baby is born. Full of examples from daily life, this book is an apt read for beginners to learn and build their curiosity about numbers and data analysis.
A few parts about probability brought back memories from school when probability was just a chapter to score more. Even though academic in nature, the book seems gripping due to the relatable examples which make the concepts easy to understand.

Data Science - A beginners guide by C. Raju
This one is a comprehensive and informational guide to introduce you to the world of data science. Explained with easy to understand examples and simplified statistics, I was able to grasp the nuances fairly well, even being from a humanities background. Data visualization, dispersion, probability, distribution and regression are some of the significant topics covered in the book.
Diagrammatic representations, graphs and charts make it easier to understand the difficult topics in a better manner. The inclusion of real life examples and concept driven explanations are a plus. That being said, the statistical portions are not completely easy to understand and require some knowledge and mathematical abilities to fully grasp the theorems.
Overall, this is a good foundational read for those looking to ease into the field of data science.
