Course Modules
Get oriented to the program structure, learning outcomes and how the lessons, labs and resources fit together so you’re set up for success.
Discover what data science is, where it’s used, and the end-to-end process—from framing a business problem to delivering insights and impact.
Set up Jupyter and practise Python fundamentals: functions, types, strings, files/CSV, dates and objects, plus lambdas and list comprehensions. Survey key data-science packages you’ll use throughout the course.
Master NumPy arrays and their attributes. Perform arithmetic and conditional operations, apply common maths/statistics functions, and work confidently with indexing, slicing and basic file handling.
Build the maths foundation for data work: vectors (dot product, norms, independence) and matrices (operations, transpose, rank, determinants, inverses), with an intro to eigenvalues/eigenvectors and where calculus fits.
Learn core statistical concepts and terminology, types of statistics and data, levels of measurement, central tendency and dispersion, shape (skewness/kurtosis), covariance and correlation, and random variables/sets.
Explore discrete and continuous distributions (binomial, Poisson, normal, uniform, Bernoulli). Understand PDFs/PMFs, CDFs, the Central Limit Theorem and estimation theory to support sound inference.
Apply hypothesis testing end-to-end: null/alternative hypotheses, Type I/II errors, confidence intervals/levels and margins of error. Run t-tests, z-tests, chi-square and ANOVA, and interpret F-distributions—reinforced with Python demos.
Work fluently with Series and DataFrames. Use common and statistical functions, handle dates/timedeltas, read/write data, manage categorical and text data, iterate and sort, and create quick plots with pandas.
Understand data types and sources, choose appropriate tools, and perform collection and wrangling. Import/export in Python, use regular expressions for text processing, and access databases for analysis.
Write idiomatic pandas, load/index/reindex efficiently, merge datasets, optimise memory, clean and impute missing values, bin and standardise data, and describe datasets to prepare them for modelling.
Apply visualisation principles and practice with Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly and Bokeh. Produce a range of charts (including 3D) and learn when to use each to communicate insights clearly.
Solve a complete statistics problem in Python—from problem statement and approach to basic and advanced solutions (including SciPy)—then recap key takeaways and best practices.
