数据科学是一门全新的学科,包含了一个新的信息时代,从寻找罪犯到预测流行病。但是,除了我们的电脑、智能手机和信用卡所收集的大量信息之外,它还有更多的内容。
由该领域的几位专家精心编撰的《30秒数据科学》介绍了驱动算法的基本统计原理,数据如何在各个方面影响我们——科学、社会、商业、娱乐——以及伦理方面的窘境和它可能带来的一个更好的未来世界。每篇短文仅用300个字和一张图片详细介绍了数据科学的不同方面,展示了将不同类型的数据汇集在一起,并使用强大的计算机程序来寻找人眼无法发现的模式这一概念已经在改变我们的世界,阅读时间仅需30秒。
Data science is an entirely new discipline that encompasses a new era of information, from finding criminals to predicting epidemics. But there’s more to it than the vast quantities of information gathered by our computers, smartphones, and credit cards.
Carefully compiled by experts in the field, 30-
Second Data Science covers the basic statistical principles that drive the algorithms, how data affects us in every way—science, society, business, pleasure—along with the ethical quandaries and its future promise of a better world. Each 30-Second entry details a different facet of data science in just 300 words and one picture, showing how the concept of bringing together different types of data, and using powerful computer programs to find patterns no human eye could spot, is already transforming our world.
