Acknowledgments
EMC Education Services embarked on learning this subject with the intent to develop an “open” curriculum and certification. It was a challenging journey at the time as not many understood what it would take to be a true data scientist. After initial research (and struggle), we were able to define what was needed and attract very talented professionals to work on the project. The course, “Data Science and Big Data Analytics,” has become well accepted across academia and the industry.
Led by EMC Education Services, this book is the result of efforts and contributions from a number of key EMC organizations and supported by the office of the CTO, IT, Global Services, and Engineering. Many sincere thanks to many key contributors and subject matter experts David Dietrich, Barry Heller, and Beibei Yang for their work developing content and graphics for the chapters. A special thanks to subject matter experts John Cardente and Ganesh Rajaratnam for their active involvement reviewing multiple book chapters and providing valuable feedback throughout the project.
