Data Science

Data is revolutionizing the world we live in — and data scientists are driving that change. From governments to healthcare, gaming to grocery shopping, data science helps us to better understand what’s happening in order to make stronger decisions and predictions about the future. In this course you’ll learn to manipulate, analyse and visualise data. You’ll also use data algorithms to make predictions. Sounds cool, right? Python is our language of choice, so it will help if you know the basics. If you’re not already familiar with Python, take a look at our [LINK]Introduction to Python course.

What you'll learn

Numpy

Numpy is a Python library that makes it easy to work with large sets of numerical data. Learn how to use Numpy to create a subset of data, so you can focus on the parts you’re interested in.

Pandas

Not just cute fluffy animals! Pandas is another Python library built on top of Numpy, and here we’ll show you how to process and manipulate data with Pandas.

Matplotlib

Create charts and graphs to visualise your data with Matplotlib.

Linear regression

Use linear regression to learn from data and make better predictions.

Binary and multiclass classification

Separate data points into predetermined categories with classification techniques.
