Data Analysis with Python
ABOUT THE COURSE!
As part of our Certificate Program in Data Science, this course aims at providing a fundamental understanding on using SQL to access data, data visualization and exploratory data analysis.
Data analysis is a process for obtaining raw data and converting it into information useful for decision-making by users. The data are necessary as inputs to the analysis, much of the world’s data resides in database. Extracting data from database using SQL is an important technique you must learn if you want to become a data scientist. Data initially obtained must be processed or organised and clean for analysis. This course engages you with knowledge about data wrangling and data exploration by using Python’s library such as Numpy or Pandas. One of the key skills of a data scientist is the ability to tell a compelling story, visualizing data and findings in an approachable and stimulating way. Various techniques have been taught for presenting data visually.
Moreover, this course will provide learners with chances to practice skills required to leverage data for revealing valuable insights and advancing their career.
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.
