    Description / Table of Contents: Sie möchten endlich wissen, was sich hinter Schlagworten wie „Data Science“ und „Machine Learning“ eigentlich verbirgt - und was man alles damit anstellen kann? Auf allzu viel Mathematik würden Sie dabei aber gern verzichten? Dann sind Sie hier genau richtig: Dieses Buch bietet einen kompakten Einblick in die wichtigsten Schlüsselkonzepte der Datenwissenschaft und ihrer Algorithmen - und zwar ohne Sie mit mathematischen Formeln und Details zu belasten! Der Fokus liegt - nach einer übergeordneten Einführung - auf Anwendungen des maschinellen Lernens zur Mustererkennung und Vorhersage von Ergebnissen: In jedem Kapitel wird ein Algorithmus erläutert und mit einem leicht verständlichen, realen Anwendungsbeispiel verknüpft. Die Kombination aus intuitiven Erklärungen und zahlreichen Abbildungen ermöglicht dabei ein grundlegendes Verständnis, das ohne mathematische Formelsprache auskommt. Abschließend werden auch die Grenzen und Nachteile der betrachteten Algorithmen explizit aufgezeigt. Das Buch beschreibt die Schlüsselalgorithmen der Datenwissenschaften bildlich und eingängig. Eine nützliche Einführung für Anfänger, ein guter Überblick für Geschäftsleute, die mit Analysten zusammenarbeiten, oder einfach ein anregendes Lesevergnügen für alle, die wissen wollen, was mit ihren Daten geschieht. Dr. David Stillwell, stellvertretender Direktor des Psychometrics Centre an der University of Cambridge Dank der exzellent veranschaulichten Konzepte konnten unsere Studenten aus den nicht-technischen Fächern die abstrakten Ideen des maschinellen Lernens ganz intuitiv verstehen. Ethan Chan, Big-Data-Dozent, Stanford University

    Description / Table of Contents: Demonstrating that unchecked growth on our finite planet was leading the Earth towards ecological 'overshoot' and pending disaster, this book incorporates the thinking on sustainability, ecological footprinting and limits, presents future overshoot scenarios, and makes a case for a readjustment of the global economy toward a sustainable path.'If you only read one book ...make this it!' - L. Hunter Lovins, co-author of "Natural Capitalism". 'It is time for the world to re-read "Limits to Growth"! The message of 1972 is more real and relevant in 2004, and we wasted 30 valuable years of action by misreading the message of the first book' - Matthew R. Simmons, founder, Simmons & Company International, the world's largest energy investment banking firm. 'If you want to understand what's going on Earth, read it' - Patrick Whitefield, Permaculture. In 1972, "Limits to Growth" shocked the world and forever changed the global agenda by demonstrating that unchecked growth on our finite planet was leading the Earth towards ecological 'overshoot' and pending disaster. The book went on to sell millions of copies and ignited a firestorm of controversy that burns hotter than ever in these days of soaring oil prices, wars for resources and human-induced climate change. This substantially revised, expanded and updated edition follows on from "Limits to Growth" and its sequel "Beyond the Limits", which raised the alarm that we have already overshot the planet's carrying capacity.Marshalling a vast array of new, hard data, more powerful computer modelling and incorporating the latest thinking on sustainability, ecological footprinting and limits, this new book presents future overshoot scenarios and makes an even more urgent case for a rapid readjustment of the global economy toward a sustainable path. This is compelling, essential and, indeed, essential reading for all concerned with our common future.
