What is Data Science

Data science is an academic field that extracts useful insights from large amounts of data and applies them to decision making. By combining statistics, machine learning, and programming, it provides methods for solving complex problems in business and research.

The Importance of Data Science

In modern society, data is generated in all areas. Whether this data can be properly analyzed and utilized greatly affects the competitiveness of organizations and individuals. By acquiring data science skills, you can create the following values:

  • Make decisions based on objective evidence
  • Discover hidden patterns and trends
  • Build predictive models for the future
  • Achieve optimization of business processes

Approach to Learning

When learning data science, balancing theory and practice is important. By understanding the basics of statistics and then gaining experience actually handling data with programming languages like Python, you can develop practical application skills.

The books introduced here are excellent materials for systematically learning data science from basics to application. Each book approaches the essence of data analysis from a different angle and helps you acquire practical skills.

Statistics: The Strongest Discipline

This book clearly explains why statistics is the most reliable weapon in business and scientific decision-making. You can learn the importance of data-based judgment and how statistical thinking changes our perception through specific examples. Even without expertise in statistics, you can understand its essential value and applications.

  • Statistics is the most reliable method for correctly discerning cause and effect
  • Sampling and randomized controlled trials form the foundation of scientific evidence
  • Statistics reveals biases that cannot be detected by intuition or experience alone
  • Data literacy is an essential skill for surviving in modern society

Deep Learning from Scratch

This book is an introductory text that allows you to fundamentally understand how deep learning works by implementing it from scratch in Python without relying on external libraries. By learning while actually writing code rather than just theory, you gain understanding of the essence of neural networks. It's ideal for those who want to understand the internal structure of deep learning, which tends to become a black box, while working hands-on.

  • The essence of deep learning becomes visible by building from scratch without using libraries
  • You can intuitively understand how backpropagation works through implementation
  • You can build convolutional neural network structures step by step
  • You can solidify the foundations of deep learning from both theoretical and implementation perspectives
