Data Science from Scratch

Data Science from Scratch ========================= Here's all the code and examples from the first edition of my book __[Data Science from Scratch](http://joelgrus.com/2015/04/26/data-science-from-scratch-first-principles-with-python/)__. The `code` directory contains Python 2.7 versions, and the `code-python3` direction contains the Python 3 equivalents. (I tested them in 3.5, but they should work in any 3.x.) Each can be imported as a module, for example (after you cd into the /code directory): ```python from linear_algebra import distance, vector_mean v = [1, 2, 3] w = [4, 5, 6] print distance(v, w) print vector_mean([v, w]) ``` Or can be run from the command line to get a demo of what it does (and to execute the examples from the book): ```bat python recommender_systems.py ``` Additionally, I've collected all the [links](https://github.com/joelgrus/data-science-from-scratch/blob/master/links.md) from the book. And, by popular demand, I made an index of functions defined in the book, by chapter and page number. The data is in a [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mjGp94ehfxWOEaAFJsPiHqIeOioPH1vN1PdOE6v1az8/edit?usp=sharing), or I also made a toy (experimental) [searchable webapp](http://joelgrus.com/experiments/function-index/). ## Table of Contents 1.
