The data that surrounds us in our daily lives helps us construct new stories by targeting all things expressed in various forms, such as images and text in the world of digital data. With the magic wand called data science, we can incorporate all facts as data into our "horizon of thought," visualize them and from there weave new stories—that is, the future.
However, data science truly becomes a magic wand only when we understand its essence and can handle it skillfully. Some people may have given up on data science because it contains abundant mathematics and programming. Good news for such people!
This book is overflowing with materials that allow you to learn the essence of data science and AI through enjoyable experiences while working hands on, learning with excitement. The Wolfram Language covered in this book has many functions prepared in advance for learning the world of data science and AI. By using these functions, you can enter this world with excitement.
Without being bothered by mathematical calculations or programming syntax, this book allows you to take on creative challenges. Please try entering the world of AI and data science.
