Python for Data Science For Dummies, Mueller J.P., Massaron L., 2019.

   The main purpose of Python for Data Science For Dummies, 2nd Edition is to take the scare factor out of data science by showing you that data science is not only really interesting but also quite doable using Python. You might assume that you need to be a computer science genius to perform the complex tasks normally associated with data science, but that’s far from the truth. Python comes with a host of useful libraries that do all the heavy lifting for you in the background. You don’t even realize how much is going on, and you don’t need to care. All you really need to know is that you want to perform specific tasks, and Python makes these tasks quite accessible.




Ten Data Challenges You Should Take.
Data science is all about working with data. While working through this book, you have used a number of datasets, including the toy datasets that come with the Scikit-learn library. Of course, these datasets are all great for getting you started, but just as a runner wouldn’t stop after conquering the local fun run, so you need to start training for data science marathons by working with larger datasets.

This chapter introduces you to a number of challenging datasets that can help you become a world-class data scientist. By combining what you discover in this book with these new datasets, you can learn how to do amazing things. In fact, some people may view you as a bit of a magician as you pull seemingly impossible data patterns out of your hat. Each of the following datasets provides you with specific skills and helps you achieve different goals.
