Probably the following 2 books also needs a mention. May be basic and elementary but definitely would give lot of comfort to starters on understanding the concepts and application of Data Science 1) Data Science for Business - Foster Provost & Tom Fawcett 2) Data Smart - John ForemanMike S says: August 13, 2015 at 4:57 am
The link at the end of this sentence (above) doesn't work: "Of course, it goes without saying – if you think there are more books, which you think should be added to this list, you should add them in this discussion thread." I wanted to recommend R in a Nutshell.Dulluri says: December 07, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Add "Learning from Data" by Prof Yaser Abu - Mostafa to the list.Dr.S.Jayaprakash says: June 30, 2017 at 11:37 am
Rogue Trader - Nick Leeson is a definite add to the list. Film is also available for those who hate to read this book :-)
