I purchased the Kindle version of this book, only to find tables cut off on the right margin and many bitmapped equations that were very difficult to read. I returned it, as I expect to be able to actually view the books I purchase. This has been a recurring problem with many Kindle mathematics books. They never seem to be able to get it right, and they seldom offer a sample that is large enough to assess the quality issues before purchase.I'm giving the book 5 stars, because this is not the fault of the authors and I didn't want to unfairly penalize the overall content ratings.
I have taught, and teach, a two-course data mining sequence for the MBA business analytics specialization at my university using Dr. Shmueli’s Data Mining for Business Analytics and Practical Time Series Forecasting textbooks. Both the supporting materials and the textbooks are high-quality products that match up well with the mathematical facility and technical skills of my students. The exposition is accessible to students with a wide range of backgrounds, and balanced between enough mathematics to explain the methods but not so much that it raises barriers to understanding. I looked far and wide for comparable texts, but I know of no other combination that meets the needs of my students as well as these two texts. I unhesitatingly recommend them both.
Kindle edition textbooks should be exact replicas of the actual paper textbook, with page numbers and layout that are identical. If one needs to increase the size of the text image or figures, then a simple two-finger gesture to zoom the image should be adequate. This Kindle edition is constructed in the same poor fashion that electronic textbooks used to be in that the text can be enlarged, but there are no page numbers. The resolution of enlarged figures is very, very poor. , how can you continue to provide sub optimal Kindle versions of textbooks that actually need to be read by students and scholars? There is no acceptable excuse for this. Unless you absolutely need the Kindle version due to your situation (I live overseas and am enrolled in an online MBA program...receiving textbooks by mail is simply not practical), then I strongly discourage you from buying this edition. Only if it sells poorly will and the publisher realize that they need to pony up and do a better job. It should be astonishingly easy to do so. Again, DO NOT BUY THIS KINDLE EDITION.
