"A Tour of Data Science: Learn R and Python in Parallel covers the fundamentals of data science, including programming, statistics, optimization, and machine learning in a single short book. It does not cover everything, but rather, teaches the key concepts and topics in Data Science. It also covers two of the most popular programming languages used in Data Science, R and Python, in one source"--

Highlights a combination of two aspects: technical concreteness and holistic thinking. Authors discuss what principles are used to invent these techniques, what assumptions are made, how mathematics is used to articulate these assumptions, and how these formulations generalize a range of real-world applications into generic and abstract forms.
