Members Reviews:

excellent introduction - very clear

Nicely produced and cogently presented rudiments of data science in a presentation ideal for the non-technical novice who needs to understand this most essential emerging aspect of the enterprise.

Remarkably clear introduction to a complex subject

Where does A Simple Introduction to Data Science rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Among the best in both content and production.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Simple Introduction to Data Science?

Not a narrative story so really does not have "moments." Good information overall.

What about Owen Dalys performance did you like?

Resonant, easy-to-listen-to voice with excellent delivery.

Any additional comments?

A damn good "first" book regarding an important area for professionals to be aware of, and exploit.

Excellent "gateway drug" for the layman

I found this book to be a profoundly enlightening and clear explanation re: the rudiments of data science - its techniques, benefits and potential pitfalls. Highly recommended.

Buzz-word soup

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This book reads like a business buzz-word circle jerk at a networking event. "Data Science is the aggregating of a data analytics pipeline for synergistic enterprise solutions around agile teamwork cohorts." It reads like a pitch. I don't know what I was supposed to learn from this book, but I didn't learn anything. Wikipedia righted me.

Good narrator though.

A good starter book

A great place to start. Gives you a good idea of what Data Science and Analytics really is.
