Lillian Pierson’s gift for turning incredibly complex and high-technical information into engaging, approachable, and highly-consumable content is paired with an innate understanding of trending or soon-to-be trending technology topics. These talents led my team to first follow Lillian and ultimately engage with her as one of the industry’s top luminaries in our Analytics Influencers Program. She covered several of our critical events and provided her valuable perspective and voice to our audience engagement.

The contents of this course is a good start for beginners.

(This book) is surprisingly comprehensive – and not an easy read. But the first three chapters give an effective overview of the subject requiring little or no background. The writing is excellent, serious without being stuffy, but free of the sometimes excessive cornball humor other Dummies books have. The “part of tens” – often throwaway – is full of genuinely useful links to a variety of data visualization tools and resources. I learned a tremendous amount from this book and plan to keep it close at hand as my own job increasingly takes on (relevant) aspects and projects.

Excellent introductory book! It provides an overview of the subject, without deviating from the initial training of technical skills. He helped me get started.

This book nicely describes how this new field differs from the “old sciences”. The intellectual basis is at a readable level for even the newest of new dummy looking for clues English continues to spawn new words and fields of study, the dummies series and this title does not disappoint once again in providing a readable description of what is an emerging field.

This is a fantastic resource for building a strong foundation.

(Lillian) has been able to touch on the in-depth explanations to the most basic. I am using this course to revise my basics and since it is very helpful to me, I am sure it is going to be very beneficial for a beginner as well.
Ashish Francis, Business Analytics Manager
This is an introduction that in very relatable terms explains the breadth and business case of data science. There are great ideas in this book for what to study, how to study, and what options are available for specialization. To me, the most valuable part of what Pierson brings to the table here is how to “pitch” data science (and the products it encompasses) to clients. She communicates benefits and concepts in a way that is conducive to the conference room conversation. Taken for what it is, I believe this book is an excellent resource.

Mandar Priya Phatak, Data Analyst
(This book) is an excellent primer by Lillian Pearson and is a must have. It is comprehensive and an easy read. The author has excellently explained the difference between (concepts) which are often confused to be the same by most people. The book will definitely point you in the right direction. I learned quite a lot from this book and would always keep it handy.

I will recommend this course to every beginner in the field.
