Course overview
We live in a data-driven world thats generating huge volumes of information at ever-increasing rates via social media, financial transactions, transportation, and scientific discovery. Consequently, an understanding of data is a top priority for all of us whether you are in business, government, or individually as citizens and consumers.The new interdisciplinary field of data science combines areas of computer science with mathematical statistics and domain expertise to manage and analyse data. Specialists develop the capability to derive insight and opportunity from the vast repositories of information that organisations collect. Data science also puts an emphasis on the specialised computational skills required to manage and analyse big data from sources such as social media, massive sensors, mobile and transaction data. It enables businesses to gain a competitive edge, governments to deliver more targeted services, and research teams to make new discoveries.
