Introduction to Data Science (MATH 2705)
This course serves as an introduction to developing key data science skills. By the end of the course, students will be able to implement a complete data science workflow using the R programming language. This includes downloading data from the internet (scraping), managing it effectively (wrangling), and creating tables and figures that tell a meaningful and justifiable story based on the data. Students will also gain proficiency in tools for identifying patterns in data and making predictions about future trends.
