From the book website:

The Data Science Design Manual serves as an introduction to data science, focusing on the skills and principles needed to build systems for collection, analyzing, and interpreting data. As a discipline data science sits at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and machine learning, but it is building a distinct heft and character of its own.

The book covers enough material for an "Introduction to Data Science" course at the undergraduate or early graduate student levels.

The course is designed to provide a hands-on introduction to Data Science by challenging student groups to build predictive models for upcoming events, and validating their models against the actual outcomes.

The video and lecture slides are from my Fall 2016 Data Science (CSE 519) course.

Structure Overview and Typical Completion Time
