<b>Book Review:</b> Mathematical Pictures at a Data Science Exhibition
The book Mathematical Pictures at a Data Science Exhibition aims to introduce the reader to the many mathematical ideas that congregate under the ever-expanding umbrella of data science. Given the meteoric rise of this field and the immense speed at which it often moves, this book acts as a welcome road map for graduate students and researchers in the field. Given its focus on theory, the book should be most appreciated by mathematicians as well as theoretical statisticians and computer scientists. While algorithms are the main focus of the book, the exposition is by no means a hands-on tutorial in data science, but rather an introductory text on the theoretical ideas behind data science algorithms and problems.
