Data Science Fundamentals

Current offering — AY2025/2026 Semester 2

Data is radically transforming businesses, sciences, as well as everyday life. Constructing large and complex data science pipelines to address needs in a wide variety of domains is a critical challenge in today's world. This course aims to provide an overview of data science and thinking that go behind the design of solutions to data science problems. Python will be the language of choice to introduce hands-on data science pipelines.
