"Written by one of the most prodigious editors and authors in the data mining community, Data mining: the textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of data mining. The recent drive in industry and academic toward data science and more specifically "big data" makes any well-written book on this topic a welcome addition to the bookshelves of experienced and aspiring data scientists... The writing style is excellent and the author managed to provide sufficient mathematical background in terms of formal proofs and notations, in order to make it self-contained and scientifically appealing to more theory-oriented readers.Covering more than 20 chapters and 700 pages, Aggarwal provides a unique textbook and reference to data mining, which I recommend to every reader working on or learning about data mining."
