Description
Book SynopsisCommunicating with Data aims to help students and researchers write about their insights in a way that is both compelling and faithful to the data
Trade ReviewThis book about technical writing is particularly suitable (and necessary) for students in data science, or in any mathematical science. It begins with chapters on how to read technical articles, science news stories, and press releases ("examine the argument"); continues with chapters on how to describe and present data and code; advises how to get started writing ("who is the audience?"); and emphasizes the importance of editing and revising. A concluding chapter offers 22 imaginative exercises. * Mathematics Magazine *
