This is an announcement about a new course in Data Science from Stellenbosch University.
I am Dr Juan Klopper from the School for Data Science and Computational Thinking. Hundreds of participants have already signed up. Check back right here in the description for full details on worldwide sign up and further notices.
In this course I teach Data Science using Python. The course will be easy to follow with video lectures, PDF documentation, exercise files, and live online sessions.
During the course we will use Google Colab notebooks so that no one has to worry about any local installations.
You will learn about Python, working with data, summary statistics, data visualisation, probabilities, distributions and sampling distributions, bootstrap resampling, uncertainty, confidence intervals, comparison of means, linear models, nonparametric tests, and comparing categorical variables. You will also learn about machine learning techniques such as k nearest neighbours and random forests and I will show you how to construct a machine learning project.
Watch the video for more information and tell everyone you know. Leave comments down below if you have questions. I hope to see you on the course.
