Foundations of Data Science.

Catalog description

This course introduces basic theory and application of data visualization and statistical methods to analyze data to enhance and support decision-making. Data driven decision-making is used in personal, industry, and government policy decision-making. Data science provides the tools for critical thinking by providing precise evidence and quantitative analysis, to draw inference to support conclusions about almost any aspect in the real world, whether it is personal, local, national, or global. In today’s society, you will be asked to support your arguments with empirical evidence, and data science will provide the toolkit for you to provide enhanced critical analysis.
