Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization

4.0 units 3.6 CEUs

Data science involves uncovering key intelligence by analyzing historical data to learn what happened in the past, and predictive analytics to forecast what may happen in the future. This iterative process is called exploratory data analysis (EDA). Effective data visualization is also an integral component of the process, and quickly becoming a top business intelligence and analytics technology. In this course, you’ll learn skills including EDA, data analysis techniques, and data exploration, with a specific focus on visualization utilizing Tableau.

Python Programming I

4.0 units 3.6 CEUs

Python is a high-level, dynamically typed, and portable programming language that excels when the cost of software development outweighs performance considerations which is quite often in practice. Python covers similar territory as Perl and is similarly an open-source product, but it is considered easier to learn, write, and maintain. NASA, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), Honeywell, and many other companies all use Python to handle jobs for which classical programming languages are not well-suited. This course introduces Python and its libraries as a general programming environment, then applies Python to real-world problems, such as website development, database access, text processing, XML editing, GUI development, and system administration.
