Introduction


This chapter gives you a quick overview of one of the most popular data analysis libraries in Scala, how to get them, and their most frequently used functions and data structures.

We will be focusing on Breeze in this first chapter, which is one of the most popular and powerful linear algebra libraries. Spark MLlib, which we will be seeing in the subsequent chapters, builds on top of Breeze and Spark, and provides a powerful framework for scalable machine learning.
