What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This book does a great job of providing both a useful overview and introduction to python as well as demonstrating the power and advanced functionality across a broad spectrum of topics in data science, mathematic and visualization. This book includes practical examples and code. Highly recommended.

I read a review copy, all 509 pages as this was a great read.The book has a very broad coverage of interactive computing through the use of IPython.Each chapter and sub-section finishes with a “There’s more …” section providing a large number of useful links for further study on that sections content, allowing the reader to investigate further.The book steps us through all example source code, but the example source and example data are all provided in github repositories so all experiments can be reproduced by the reader. Sufficient information is provided to reproduce the experiments on Windows, Linux or OS X.The earlier chapters introduce us to IPython, in it’s current 2.x form but also present what’s coming in the 3.0 release. It was impressive to see how IPython is evolving into a more interactive platform through the integration of Javascript capabilities - it is shown how IPython can be extended in various ways, and how widgets can be used to interact with the visualization - e.g. having a slider widget to modify an analysis and the associated plot. One example involves the implementation of a piano keyboard within IPython.Impressive stuff showing how useful IPython is becoming for data analysis and visualization.Nevertheless for an introduction to IPython the authors’ earlier book on PacktPub “Learning IPython for Interactive Computing and Data Visualization” is a recommended read.The first part of the book covers high performance interactive computing, starting with IPython, its’ notebooks, profiling and optimization of code through various libraries including Numpy, Numba, Cython and even OpenCL or pyCUDA to harness GPUs. The final chapter of this section covers plotting libraries such as prettyplotlib, seaborn, Bokeh, NetworkX, D3.js, Vispy which go beyond the capabilities of the standard matplotlib.The second part of the book enumerates how these capabilities can be applied in many domains of data science whether it be statistical data analysis, machine learning, optimization, signal processing, image and audio, deterministic and stochastic dynamic systems, graphs and geographical systems and finally symbolic mathematics.There is a very impressive range of techniques covered in the book and the examples cover a wide range of ideas from pure statistics, to frequency domain (FFT), audio, image and graph and map plotting.Whilst such a book can not go into great depth for so many subjects, tools and methods the book provides many realistic reproducible examples, in souce code, along with many references to be able to investigate further.The last chapter deals with symbolic mathematics using sympy. I was quite amazed at what I was able to do by just installing one extra python module - sympy. Sympy is able to display mathematical formulas, via the Latex-capable MathJax library, to solve equations and the like.Overall this book is a very interesting read and is packed with information, examples and very useful references. I recommend it to anyone wanting an overview of Python/IPython capabilities for data visualization.An inspiring book?Well yes, I'm inspired to delve deeper into IPython and its use in various data analytic domains, I'm also inspired to use the examples for teaching workshops.

probably my preferred book in Python. Great case studies. Rashka, Rossant= fantastic books

Jordi C Mar 25, 2015

I recommend this book as an introduction on how to efficiently use python (and the ipython notebook) for data analysis. The book explains python libraries for parallel computing, numerical optimization, visualization, statistics and machine learning, among others. It offers the reader a thorough overview of different aspects and problems that one should take into account when analyzing data.It is clearly written and easy to understand. It provides step-by-step examples (available on github), as well as useful tips and comments throughout the book. I must say that to benefit from the book you should read it while you practice in your laptop, is not that useful if you just read it.
