CAB220 Fundamentals of Data Science
School of Computer Science, Queensland University of Technology
Data is becoming central to every organization's decision making process, and the demand for data savvy modelers and software engineers is rapidly increasing. Modern computational approaches to data analysis have to enable users to acquire, manage, interpret, present and disseminate large volumes of heterogeneous data. Data science is a synthesis of statistics, mathematics, machine learning and computer science, and uses tools, techniques, and approaches from all of these fields to extract information from datasets. This unit will introduce you to a wide range of Data Science methods and theories to model and analyze data.
