Reader Testimonials
Michael Thomas
If you want to know about data science, Peter Prevos is your man. Not ‘just’ an engineer, Peter is equally conversant across the humanities and social sciences. His unique perspective is delivered with passion in his latest book; weaving a wonderful account of both the ‘science’ and the ‘art’ behind big data. A must read for those seeking a far richer and contextualised account of data-science.
Keshvinder Singh
For decision-makers
This is a great book for high level and conceptual discussion on data science. Good for decision-makers that rely on data for deciding company growth. How they can use the data and being vigilant with it.
