Course Description
The concepts of data science will be covered throughout the course from a variety of angles, including conceptual formulation and properties, solution algorithms and their applications, data visualization for exploratory data analysis, and the appropriate presentation of modeling outcomes. With the use of real-world examples, students will understand the purpose, effectiveness, and constraints of models. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to comprehend the contemporary data science landscape and technical terminology, identify key concepts and tools in the field of data science and determine when they can be applied effectively. Students will also be able to recognize the significance of curating, organizing, and wrangling data, explain uncertainty, causality, and data quality and anticipate the effects of data use and misconduct.
