Acerca de este curso: The art of uncovering the insights and trends in data has been around since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used census data to increase efficiency in tax collection and they accurately predicted the flooding of the Nile river every year. Since then, people working in data science have carved out a unique and distinct field for the work they do. This field is data science. In this course, we will meet some data science practitioners and we will get an overview of what data science is today. LIMITED TIME OFFER: Subscription is only $39 USD per month for access to graded materials and a certificate.
Para quién es esta clase: This course is primarily for individuals who are passionate about the field of data science and who are aspiring to become data scientists.

Exceptional and worth following as a course
Very good introduction. But the content is little and not well constructed. More information is needed to form a good course.
