The Wolfram Language provides an integrated environment for sophisticated programming, making it the ideal tools for calculus, data visualization, machine learning, and more. But how about using Wolfram as the linchpin for organizing data? Professor Seth J. Chandler, an award-winning, 30-year user of the Wolfram Language, guides intermediate users from simple cases to data in the wild and shows how each can be fed into the full range of Wolfram Language functionality. Want to know more about associations or the organization and presentation of datasets? Want to organize or reduce data similarly to the way one might use SQL, pandas in Python, or dplyr in R's tidyverse? This book shows how to simplify data processing and go beyond what is possible with other tools using the Query function. It also explores how to import information from the places real-world data is most likely to be found: CSV, Excel, or JSON files. This book puts you at the forefront of innovative data analysis.

About the Author
Seth J. Chandler is a Law Foundation Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center (UHLC). He maintains a dual life as a law professor, teaching subjects such as constitutional law and insurance law, and as an expert on the Wolfram Language, presenting at numerous Wolfram conferences and winning a Wolfram Innovator Award in 2011. He has combined both of his passions in the course Analytic Methods for Lawyers, which is taught at UHLC and is available via his YouTube channel (@sethjchandler). He has made many contributions to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, Function Repository, and Data Repository and to Wolfram Community. Professor Chandler received his undergraduate degree in 1979 from Princeton University and his Juris Doctorate in 1983 from Harvard Law School, where he served as Managing Editor of the Harvard Law Review. His knowledge of math and of the Wolfram Language is generally self-taught, much of it from listening to and reading the works of Stephen Wolfram and others. He has never taken a college-level programming course; the last math course on his transcript is a linear algebra class from 1975.
