Course Overview - Data Science Fundamentals

Our one-day Data Science Fundamentals course offers participants a comprehensive introduction to the core principles and techniques of data science. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistical analysis, machine learning, and domain knowledge to extract insights and solve complex problems from data. This course aims to equip participants with a solid foundation in data science and its practical applications.

The course begins with an overview of data science, exploring its role and significance in various industries. Participants will understand the data science workflow, from data acquisition and preprocessing to analysis and visualisation. They will gain insights into the key skills and roles within the field of data science. Next, participants will learn about the fundamental concepts of statistics and probability. They will explore descriptive statistics, data distributions, hypothesis testing, and statistical inference. These statistical concepts are crucial for understanding and interpreting data in a meaningful way.

The course then delves into machine learning, covering both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Participants will gain an understanding of popular algorithms such as linear regression, decision trees, clustering, and dimensionality reduction. They will learn how to train, evaluate, and interpret machine learning models for various data-driven tasks.

By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation in data science principles and techniques. They will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to approach data-driven problems, perform statistical analysis, apply machine learning algorithms, and communicate findings through data visualisation.
