This is a brief book, but for a good reason. It contains only the more useful information to learn about BPMN. BPMN doesn't have to be difficult. A bigger book will give you more detail, but it will also take longer to read and not all the information will be useful in the real life. This book will quickly get you up to speed on the essentials of the BPMN and it's also as handy reference to the most common parts of the notation. This book doesn't cover the use of executable BPMN, a particular tool to make diagrams, how it relates to business process management or proce

    David Sumpter

    Databases 'Fascinating' - Financial Times Algorithms are running our society, and as the Cambridge Analytica story has revealed, we don't really know what they are up to. Our increasing reliance on technology and the internet has opened a window for mathematicians and data researchers to gaze through into our lives. Using the data they are constantly collecting about where we travel, where we shop, what we buy and what interests us, they can begin to predict our daily habits. But how reliable is this data? Without understanding what mathematics can and can't do, it is impossible to get a handle on how it is changing our lives. In this book, David Sumpter takes an algorithm-strewn journey to the dark side of mathematics. He investigates the equations that analyse us, influence us and will (maybe) become like us, answering questions such as: - Who are Cambridge Analytica? And what are they doing with our data? - How does Facebook build a 100-dimensional picture of your personality
