Data Science 在媒体报道中被传得神乎其神，仿佛魔法一般。大型零售商能够预测顾客的一切动态，从小至怀孕时间到何时想要一双新的 Chuck Taylors。在这个奇妙的新世界里，看似毫无意义的数据可以转化为极具价值的洞察，从而驱动明智的商业决策。但究竟该如何实践 data science 呢？难道必须聘请这些精通玄学的“data scientist”才能从数据中淘金吗？并非如此。Data science 只不过是用直截了当的步骤将原始数据加工为可付诸行动的洞察。而且……

……说到底，我真的觉得这取决于你的偏好/需求，而对数据/相关概念的深入理解往往比各种工具之间的差异更重要。看看 John Foreman 的《Data Smart》就知道了：他用……Excel 漂亮地剖析和分析了各种各样的数据集。
…go, I really think it comes down to your preference/needs, and a good understanding of the data/related concepts often outweighs the differences among various tools. Look no further than John Foreman's "Data Smart": he does a beautiful job dissecting and analyzing a wide range of datasets with...Excel.
Excel 能做的事情远比很多人想象的要多。想看一些绝佳案例的话（全书只有最后一章讲了 R），可以去看看 MailChimp 首席数据科学家写的《Data Smart》：http://www.amazon.com/Data-Smart-Science-Transform-Informati...
You can use Excel for more than many people think. For some great examples, and with only a single chapter at the end devoted to R, see Data Smart, by MailChimp's Chief Data Scientist: http://www.amazon.com/Data-Smart-Science-Transform-Informati...
John Foreman 的《Data Smart》遵循 Excel 优先的方法论，我一直很欣赏它把数据分析与工具选择分得如此清楚。
John Foreman's book _Data Smart_ follows the Excel-first methodology, and I've been appreciating how well this separates the data analysis from the toolset choice.
……关于如何做难事和如何做易事，但关于如何用易事来思考难事的内容不多，这本就属于这一类。这个主题上另一本好书是 John Foreman 的《Data Smart》，他在里面用 Excel 讲解了基本的数据科学技能。
…for how to do hard things and how to do easy things, but not a lot for how to think of the hard things in terms of the easy things, and this falls in that category. Another good book on this topic is Data Smart by John Foreman, where he goes over basic data science skills in Excel.

我最近读了一本叫《Data Smart》的书 [1]，作者简直就是直接在 Excel 里手搓 k-means 和预测算法。这相当让人大开眼界，因为进入 ML 的门槛看起来不再那么高深莫测了。然而，把你的数据转化为……
I recently read a book called "Data Smart" [1], where the author does k-means and prediction algorithms literally in Excel. This was quite eye opening as the view to ML is not so enigmatic to enter. However, the translation of your data into…
