This textbook has been designed as a supplementary resource for Data Science. It is not and should not be considered a static document, nor your only resource for mastering the topics covered in Data Science. The information contained in this document assumes that you are a senior undergraduate student studying either Computer Science or Software Engineering. The manual has been drafted to be an active part of your education. It should not be left to collect dust on the shelf. Instead, it should be used each week to learn about topics before they are presented in class. Additionally, it should be used to reinforce and clarify classroom discussions.
For best results, it is recommended that you consider each and every activity that is provided in this document. Not all of these activities are for grades, but they will help you better understand the topics that are presented.
