Data Management for Business Analytics

Catalog description

The focus of the course is to have students become very comfortable with techniques for retrieving, storing, combining, manipulating, reorganizing, summarizing and presenting data in many different formats. Students will gain experience putting these techniques into practice by using various tools in isolation and in combination with each other. New tools are constantly being introduced to the market. However, with knowledge from this course, students should be prepared to understand underlying concepts and be able to adapt to new tools as they become available. Another, but no less important goal of the course is to continue to build on student's programming skills using the R programming language. Prerequisite(s): IDS 2030 ; and Foundation courses.
