Judging by the content, a better title for this book might be "Mathematical foundations of data science". As has been repeated ad nauseum online by practitioners of this dark art, a defining fraction of what has come to be termed "data science" concerns data processes, data models, data quality etc. This is not just about semantic clarity: the range of algorithms and mathematical models that are applicable heavily depends on these adjacent data concerns.

Fundamentals of Data Engineering by Reis and Housley covers those things very well.

This is about Data Science not about Data Engineering.

How does a Data Engineering book cover topics on Data Science?

Do you think there could be other titles that might be better suited to this work?

"Yet another partial introduction to some things in data science from an impractically mathematical perspective"
