Introduction To Data Science

This course will start with the core principles of Data Science, and will equip you with the basic tools and techniques of data handling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, data-based inference, and data-focussed communication. The course will also introduce you to the fundamentals of Machine Learning - prediction, classification, clustering, anomaly detection - to set the computational framework for Data Science. The goal is to motivate you to work closely with data and make data-driven decisions in your field of study. The course will also touch upon ethical issues in Data Science and motivate you to explore the cutting-edge applications related to Big Data, Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Python will be the language of choice to introduce hands-on computational techniques.
