Foundational Python for Data Science

Acknowledgments

The idea for this book first came from Noah Gift. It is he who really identified the need for a specialized introduction to Python targeted at students of Data Science. Thank you for that, Noah. And thank you to Colin Erdman who, acting as technical editor, brought an attention to detail that was much appreciated and needed. I also want to thank the Pearson team, including Malobika Chakraborty, who guided me through the whole process, Mark Renfrow, who came in and helped get the project done, and Laura Lewin, who helped get it going.
