Data Science for Beginners

This comprehensive course offers a structured introduction to the world of data science, combining foundational theory with practical skills in Python programming. Beginning with the basics, you'll explore what data is, understand the role and scope of data science, and delve into essential statistical concepts. You'll learn about key sampling techniques and descriptive statistics, which form the basis for insightful data interpretation.

The course then moves into Python fundamentals tailored for data science, covering data types, control flow, functions, and object-oriented programming. With these skills, you'll be equipped to handle data efficiently and write clean, reusable code. Next, you'll be introduced to two essential Python libraries-NumPy and Pandas-that are pivotal for numerical operations and data manipulation.

You'll practice creating and analyzing datasets using Pandas Series and DataFrames. In the final section, you'll develop hands-on experience with exploratory data analysis (EDA), learning techniques for data acquisition, wrangling, cleaning, and preparation. These are critical steps before applying advanced analytics or machine learning.

Each section will have quiz to assess your performance. By the end of the course, you will have a strong understanding of how to use Python and data science principles to extract meaningful insights from raw data, setting a strong foundation for your journey in data science.
