Python 2017-06-25 Data science

One of the increasingly popular uses of Python is in the field of data science.  Data science is essentially statistics and it is used in social media trends, social media analysis and marketing.  I am seeing it more and more often in job adverts involving Python.  I know a little about statistics myself thanks to my A level in pure maths and statistics.  To this end I have bought a Kindle book on the subject called "Data science from scratch" by Joel Grus.  This is a primer on the subject and it uses Python to demonstrate the techniques.  There is a short crash course chapter on Python, but don't expect it to be a Python tutorial.
