About this course:
This course introduces students to the evolving domain of data science and to the food-chain of knowledge domains involved in its application. Students learn a wide range of challenges, questions, and problems that data science helps address in different domains, including social sciences; finance; health and fitness; and entertainment. The course addresses the key knowledge domains in data science, including data development and management; machine learning and natural language processing; statistical analysis; data visualization; and inference. The course includes case studies that require students to work on real-life data science problems.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have basic Python programming and basic statistics skills. If you do not have these skills, we suggest taking COM SCI X 450.00 Data Science Fundamentals before taking COM SCI X 450.1 Introduction to Data Science.
