Introduction and Logistics
This course introduces students to the world of
data science and will empower students to use various computing tools to
collect, explore, and analyze data through the investigation of data driven
puzzles in a wide array of fields - political, economic, historical, social,
biological, and others. While there will be an introduction to data science, it
will be brief as we will advance very quickly.
How this course will work:
This course will meet face-to-face as much as possible. I will record lectures so if you are unable to attend class, you can see what you missed. Please be sure to complete the readings before attending class. This will allow walk-throughs and discussions to go more smoothly.
