Data Science is the foundation of our modern world. It underlies applications used by billions of people every day, providing new tools, forms of entertainment, economic growth, and potential solutions to difficult, complex problems. These opportunities come with significant societal consequences, raising fundamental questions about issues such as data quality, fairness, privacy, and causation. In this book, four leading experts convey the excitement and promise of Data Science and examine the major challenges in gaining its benefits and mitigating its harms. Some of Data Science’s most important techniques emerged from work across disciplines. While we include machine learning within computing, its development included contributions from statistics, pattern recognition, and neuropsychology. Information visualization arose from statistics, but has benefited greatly from computing’s contributions.
