Data Analytics for Absolute Beginners is your no-stress, no-nonsense guide to understanding and applying data analytics, even if you've never worked with data before.
This hands-on, beginner-friendly guide is packed with practical examples, visual explanations, and two bonus Python coding exercises (with video tutorials) to walk you through real-world data analysis scenarios.
By the end of the book, you will have the practical knowledge to tackle real data problems in your organization or daily life.
Written specifically for readers with no technical or computer science background, this book covers the entire data pipeline — from how data is collected and stored, to how it's cleaned, analyzed, visualized, and used to drive smarter business decisions. Using a "Lego set" approach, each chapter builds on the last—cell by cell, bit by bit—to give you a complete mental map of the field.

Da: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Regno Unito
paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
