What's inside

Four courses

Data Science Tools

(35 hours)
In this course, you'll learn about Data Science tools like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio IDE, and Watson Studio. You will learn what each tool is used for, what programming languages they can execute, their features and limitations and how data scientists use these tools today.

The Data Science Method

(35 hours)
Despite an influx in computing power and access to data over the last couple of decades, our ability to use data within the decision-making process is either lost or not maximized all too often. This course shares the methods, models, and practices that can be applied within data science to ensure that the data used in problem-solving is relevant and properly manipulated to address business and real-world challenges.

Introduction to Data Science

(27 hours)
The art of uncovering insights and trends in data has been around for centuries. This field is data science and in this course, you will meet some big data science practitioners and we will get an overview of what data science is today.

SQL for Data Science

(12 hours)
Much of the world's data lives in databases. SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a powerful programming language that is used for communicating with and extracting various data types from databases. A working knowledge of databases and SQL is necessary to advance as a data scientist or a machine learning specialist. The purpose of this course is to introduce relational database concepts and help you learn and apply foundational knowledge of the SQL language.
