Description

The guide to data and statistics for anyone who hates numbers and need a simple way to better understand what data is really telling you from former Googler and current Amazon Product Manager Neal H. Patel.

In addition, you will learn statistics the right way-using your visual brain, simple math, basic (very basic) algebra, and even a little philosophy and creative writing. With these five tools you'll learn everything from how to create and analyze your own surveys to understanding what data really means.

If you've ever said "I'm bad with numbers" this book is for you. If a job where you need to get fluent in statistics, fast--is book is for you.
