Introduction to Data Science.

Preparation for further training as a Data Scientist

Training description
Part time
|
German, English

The goal of the introductory course is to provide you with essential prerequisite knowledge and skills that you need for further education in data science. You will learn important mathematical basics, such as the handling of vectors, matrices and probabilities, which are necessary for the understanding of data science methods.

You will implement what you have learned with the Python programming language in connection with application scenarios in the field of data science. The training thus also serves as a test of your skills in dealing with the Python programming language.

In this training you will learn:
Python Basics
Linear algebra
Statistical basis
  • Creation of structured scripts in the Python programming language
  • Generation of recommender systems using the Python library numpy
  • Recognition of the most important probability distributions
