Learn Data Science in this full tutorial course for absolute beginners. Data science is considered the "sexiest job of the 21st century". The course provides accessible and non-technical overviews of the field of data science and its facets, such as common programming languages and applications, the practical aspects of data sourcing, important mathematical concepts, and common statistical approaches. Data science sits at the intersection of statistics, computer programming, and domain expertise. This non-technical overview introduces the basic elements of data science and how it is relevant to work in the real world.
DATA SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTION, PART 1
Data Science: An Introduction is the first of five courses designed to outline the principles and practices of applied data science.
DATA SOURCING, PART 2
Data science can’t happen without data. That means the first task in any project is source – that is, to get – the raw materials that you will need. This short course discusses some of the more familiar methods of gathering data and some of the less familiar that are specific to data science. Data Sourcing is the second of five courses designed to outline the principles and practices of applied data science.
CODING, PART 3
Data science professionals rely on a range of tools, from basic spreadsheets to advanced languages like R and Python. In these videos, we’ll cover the basic elements of the most important tools for data science. Coding is the third of five courses designed to outline the principles and practices of applied data science.
MATHEMATICS, PART 4
Data science relies on several important aspects of mathematics. In this course, you’ll learn what forms of mathematics are most useful for data science, and see some worked examples of how math can solve important data science problems. Mathematics is the fourth of five courses designed to outline the principles and practices of applied data science.
STATISTICS, PART 5
Statistics is distinct from - but critical to - data science. In this non-technical, conceptual overview, you can learn how statistical practices such as data exploration, estimation, and feature selection give data science its power and insight. Statistics is the final of five courses designed to outline the principles and practices of applied data science.
