Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Foundations of Data Science Section Info: This class is an asynchronous, online course. Students MUST register by August 30 at 4 pm. Registration in this course after that point will not be permitted. This course will build a practical foundation for data science by teaching students basic tools and techniques that can scale to large computational systems and massive data sets. Students will first learn how to work at a Unix command prompt before learning about source code control software like git and the github site. Next, the Python programming language will be covered, with a focus on specific aspects of the language and associated Python modules that are relevant for Data Science. Python will be introduced and used primarily via the IPython (or Jupyter) Notebooks, and will cover the Numpy, Scipy, MatPlotlib, Pandas, Seaborn, and scikit_learn Python modules. These capabilities will be demonstrated through simple data science tasks such as obtaining data, cleaning data, visualizing data, and basic data analysis. Students must have access to a fairly modern computer, ideally that supports hardware virtualization, on which they can install software. This class is open to sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students in any discipline. This class meets with STAT 430 RB (CRN 66998), INFO 490 RB (CRN 65222). Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Information Sciences department. Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.
