The critical element of data science is algorithms. So, the class will starts with some algorithm developments. The next step is to understand one of the important data science topics- Data Visualization. By the end of this course, students will- - build sorting algorithms using Python - learn how to create and manipulate arrays using NumPy (it's a library) and Python. - use pandas (another library) to manipulate and analyze data sets - Understand matplotlib and seaborn libraries to create beautiful data visualization. Why should you start learning data-science? I will just add a quote here. We will discuss more in the class. “The ability to take data — to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it — that’s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades.” - Hal Varian, chief economist at Google and UC Berkeley professor of information sciences, business, and economics Data science incorporates various disciplines: 1. Data visualization 2. Data mining 3. Machine learning 4. Deep learning 5. Data engineering 6. Statistics 7. Software programming The focus of this course is to teach data visualization. And, it is designed and made suitable for students who are interested to become data scientists and to learn real- world applications. It will provide students the resources to learn python and effectively use it to analyze and visualize data! Week 1 &2: ---------- In the first two weeks, students will be introduced to some sorting algorithms. The concepts will be discussed in the class and students will need to apply the concepts they learned earlier (from previous Python courses) to design the algorithms. Students will also get an overview of the course and learn how to setup their computer that will allow them to use Python with all the necessary libraries required. Week 3 ---------- In this week, students will learn and create arrays using NumPy. Topics: 1. Intro to NumPy 2. Arrays Week 4 & 5 ----------- In this two weeks, students will learn about pandas, a library to analyze data Topics: 1. Series 2. DataFrames 3. Index Objects 4. Rank and Sort 5. Index Hierarchy Week 6 ---------- In this week, students will learn how to work with actual data Topics: 1. reading and writing files 2. JSON and HTML with Python 3. Install Seaborn and learn Histogram creation Week 7 & 8 ---------- In the final weeks, we will do an actual data visualization project from scratch!
