Overview
This A to Z course introduces newcomers to the world of data science and teaches the fundamental skills for using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to glean meaning and insights from data.
It covers Python’s data types and shows how to use the must-have Python data science libraries, including Pandas for data analysis and Matplotlib for creating visuals of the results. Once you understand how to format and clean your data and perform exploratory data analysis, we move to the machine learning side. Here, we introduce you to supervised vs unsupervised learning, as well as the core algorithms, including simple and multiple linear regression. We finish up with a deep dive into a recommender system for movies, and a chance to put together all your new skills and knowledge.
Each topic is described in plain English, and the course does its best to avoid mathematical notations and jargon. Once you have access to the source code, you can experiment with it and improve upon it, learning and applying these algorithms in the real world.
The data science field is lucrative and growing. This course will introduce you to all the foundational skills that a data scientist must have. If you have no background in statistics, don't let that stop you from enrolling in this course!
