A complete list of books, articles, blog posts, videos and neat pages that support Data Fundamentals (H), organised by Unit.

Formatting

If the resource is available online (legally) I have included a link to it. Each entry has symbols following it.

• ⨕⨕⨕ indicates difficulty/depth, from ⨕ (easy to pick up intro, no background required) through ⨕⨕⨕⨕⨕ (graduate level textbook, maths heavy, expect equations)
• ⭐ indicates a particularly recommended resource; 🌟 is a very strongly recommended resource and you should look at it.
