CS501

Data Science is the study of knowledge extraction from massive amounts of data. It requires an integrated skill set including aspects of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, as well as effective problem solving techniques and domain knowledge. This course will introduce students to this rapidly growing field, with an emphasis on basic programming techniques in Python. Students will learn the fundamentals of data structures and complexity theory, data wrangling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, and basic machine learning algorithms such as regression, classification, and clustering. Additionally, students will practice effective communication by framing their analyses within appropriate context and ethical considerations.This class cannot be taken for credit after CS 370.
