This course covers the various elements of mathematics, statistics, data structures, databases, and computer science, and how they work together to provide the optimal analysis of data. The basic techniques of data science, algorithms for data mining, and basic statistical modeling are core competencies that will be studied in depth. Data science leverages all available and relevant data to effectively provide a predictive model that can be applied to real world business, engineering, and scientific problems. A major goal of data science is to make it easier for others to find and coalesce data with greater ease. Data science technologies impact how data scientists access data and conduct research across various domains, including the biological sciences, medical informatics, social sciences, and the humanities.
