It is beyond trite to say that technology is prevalent in our daily lives. However, many of us remain clueless as to how much of it works. Unfortunately, even for the curious among us, the Web is not always the best vehicle to acquire such knowledge: Information appears in fragments, some of it is incorrect or dated, and much of it serves as jargon-laden discussions intended for professionals. How Things Work: The Technology Edition will serve as a compendium of tutorials. Each section will focus on one technology or concept and provide the reader with a thorough understanding of the subject matter. After finishing the book, readers will understand the inner workings of the technologies they use every day and, more importantly, they will learn how they can make these tools work for them. In addition, the book will also inform readers about the darker side of modern technology: Security and privacy concerns, malware, and threats from the dark web.

ADVANCES in DATA SCIENCE and ANALYTICS Presenting the concepts and advances of data science and analytics, this volume, written and edited by a global team of experts, also goes into the practical applications that can be utilized across multiple disciplines and industries, for both the engineer and the student, focusing on machining learning, Big ata, business intelligence, and analytics. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from many structural and unstructured data. Data Science is related to data mining, Deep Learning, and Big Data. Data analytics software is a more focused version of this and can even be considered part of the larger process. Analytics is devoted to realizing actionable insights that can be applied immediately based on existing queries. For the purposes of this volume, data science is an umbrella term that encompasses data analytics, data mining, machine learning, and several other related disciplines. While a data scientist is expected to forecast the future based on past patterns, data analysts extract meaningful insights from various data sources.

The purpose of this book is to discuss data mining, which is a subset of Data Science, from a variety of perspectives. With the technological advances of recent years, new software and hardware-based systems are available in most business environments. With these systems, data production continues to increase in personal, corporate, commercial and many other areas. Information systems convert raw data, which alone are not so meaningful, into information after the processes are applied. Database systems are necessary for the storage and management of the information generated. Revealing meaningful relationships hidden in a stack of high-volume data shows the function of data mining. Processing Big Data has become important to produce information that will support business decisions and be a strategic tool in today's competitive environment. In this context, the effectiveness of data mining applications is increasing day by day as a decision support system to develop marketing strategies in every sector by identifying customer behavior and target groups.
