Data science has become an important part of various industrial fields, such as manufacturing, marketing, and finance. This course aims to provide a broad introduction to the programming language for data science. Students will learn and practice how to implement data science techniques with Python, including data preprocessing, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and model selection and evaluation.
* Prerequisites: Python, Linear Algebra, Applied Statistics II, and Data Mining
** You must have taken the prerequisite courses (or equivalent) before taking this course.
