From Juan J. Cuadrado-Gallego

This is the first important work that I have been able to do after having suffered a major accident in 2016 from which it was really very difficult to recover. I want to thank and dedicate this book to all the people without whom it would have been impossible to get it, especially to my wife and my daughters, Ana Prez de la Serna, Ana Cuadrado and Cristina Cuadrado.

From Yuri Demchenko

I dedicate this book to my lovely women, my wife Natalia, my daughter Anastasia and my granddaughter Sonia. All of them have an important role in what I do, what I write, what I learn and how I live. While my wife helped me to understand some elements of business data management, my granddaughter is helping me to understand how to teach data science starting from the school.
