Introduction
Data science involves the collection, management, processing, analysis, visualization, and interpretation of vast amounts of heterogeneous data associated with a diverse array of applications. Although it started over fifty years ago, data science has become important in the last ten years because of society’s move to an online lifestyle. Today, organisations have data on a wide variety of our data activities, and data scientist has become one of the most promising jobs in the 21st century. In this course, we will be analyzing data using Python, an interpreted general-purpose programming language. We will begin with using Python as a calculator and moving on to performing basic statistical calculations using Python and ending up with using Python to visualize data.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Information Management and Analytics
- FlexiMasters
in Information Management and Analytics
- Using Python as a calculator.
- Basic data types: integers, floats, and strings. Compound data types: lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples.
- Flow control: if … else, for loop, while loop, break and continue, pass.
- Functions: arguments, recursion, Python modules and packages.
- File operations: opening and closing files, reading file content.
- Python date and time modules.
Working adults from the industry with some experience in information technology and related fields would better appreciate the course.
Good communication skills (written and spoken English) are recommended as some assessment components may require presentations and report writing.
