Introduction to Data Science

ABOUT THE COURSE!

Data Science is the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Its growing importance in different fields of work has enabled enterprises and organizations to address and fight off global challenges with increasing impacts across countries. For this rationale, it is essential to develop a rich source of skillful and professional data scientists for burgeoning demand of the job market. 

This first course of Introduction to Data Science aims at providing learners with an overview of Data Science and its core concepts. Particularly, Data Science professionals will introduce definition and functions of Data Science as well as its tools and  algorithm applied on our daily basis. Learners also have a chance to explore what skills they need to master to pursue a career in this field. Learners will learn about qualities that distinguish Data Science from other professionals. More importantly, learners will learn about analytics and vital roles of data scientists in this process as well as about story-telling and the importance of an effective final deliverable. 

To begin the course, let's take a few minutes to explore the course site. Review the material we’ll cover each week, and preview the assignments/projects/quizzes you’ll need to complete to pass the course.

Main concepts are delivered through videos, demos and hands-on exercises.
