Data Science
Under development
Course Description
Recently, data science has become one of the most demanding fields with applications in science, engineering, economic, and huminites. This is undergraduate (seniors) comprehensive course on data science. It covers topics from basic mathematical concepts up to practical applications. Hands on implementation using Python (mainly) and R languages are the main core of the labs. This course is designed for science/engineering majors (essential background is required) but can be adjusted for other majors as well.
