In this course, participants will learn how to use Python to explore the field of data science. Participants will be introduced to the basics of machine learning - a phenomenon that has permeated our daily lives in small and big ways. They will also learn how to build and train machine learning algorithms (e.g. image classifiers, text classifiers) using Python. In addition, individuals will be introduced to introductory data analytics using the popular pandas and matplotlib/plotly libraries in Jupyter notebooks. At the end of the course, participants will gain an appreciation of the value of data analytics, as well as the potential and pitfalls of data science.
