Free Textbooks from Yumpu
February 18, 2014
Yay, free books! We love pointing out free resources, and now two textbooks relevant to content processing are available (in embedded PDF form) without charge via Yumpu.com. One, Information Technology for Management, from Turban, McLean, and Wetherbe, aims to bridge a crucial knowledge gap that plagues many businesses. It begins its task of educating managers in the mysteries of IT with a chapter titled, “Strategic Use of Information Technology in the Digital Economy.” As one might expect from a textbook, each chapter includes discussion questions and exercises. The authors illustrate their points with real-life examples from recognizable companies.
Another book, Data Mining Methods and Models, by Daniel T. Larose at Central Connecticut State University, tackles the building of data models. Like the above book, questions and exercises are provided for your enjoyment. This is the second book in a series. Its preface specifies that this volume:
“…explores the process of data mining from the point of view of model building: the development of complex and powerful predictive models that can deliver actionable results for a wide range of business and research problems…. [It provides]
*Models and techniques to uncover hidden nuggets of information
*Insight into how the data mining algorithms really work
*Experience of actually performing data mining on large data sets.”
If either of these sound like they could be of use to you (or someone you’ve been trying to explain these things to), don’t miss out on these free resources.
