Data Science Foundations
Data Science Foundations builds an applied understanding of
topics in data science. Each section covers topics from a conceptual standpoint
without assuming prerequisite knowledge in statistics and programming. Concepts
are reinforced by learning questions that build understanding and confidence.
Interactive applets within the course material build dynamic data
visualizations and explore new concepts. At the end of the course, students
will have the necessary skills to dive further into the more quantitative and
technical aspects of data science and machine learning.
