The skills taught in this book will lay the foundation for you to begin your journey learning data science. Printed copies of this book are available through Lulu.

Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

Have you ever been curious about how your phone unlocks when it sees your face, how a camera can track people and objects in a video, how humans see depth, or how computers can differentiate dogs from cats?
