This is a though provoking book by Cathy O Neil. Cathy is a
data scientist and she runs the blog mathbebe.org. After earning a Ph.D. in math
from Harvard she taught at Barnard College. She also has experience in the
private sector working for a hedge fund company. She worked as a data scientist
at various start – ups, building models that predict people’s purchases and
clicks. She then went ahead and started the Lede Program in Data Journalism at
Columbia. She is currently a columnist for Bloomberg View.
The book shed light on data analysis and how the incorrect
use of data can cause harm to all of us. The book is presented in an easy to
understand manner. The world we live in is changing at an exponential rate and
this book is a must for everyone to understand the changes and the effects that
come with it using data analysis.
You can buy this book from Amazon.
I highly recommend this book to better understand the
current situations using data analysis and math.
The book was provided to me by “blogging for books” in exchange
for my above honest opinion.
