Course Summary: Data Science & Machine Learning
Our Data Science and Machine Learning evening cohort is a 6 week course.
Decision science is the brains behind big data analytics. It's not a new field; people have been
doing decision science for decades.
In the "old days" data was limited, hence complex algorithms were needed to extract useful insights
from the data. Given the shift in the data paradigm, we no longer need very complex algorithms.
Instead, we need to run simple stuff at scale.
At the end of the day, data science is all about counting smart. In this course, we will learn the
essential skills for modern development, and implement industry standard algorithms on large
datasets. And, all the while, we will keep it simple.
Decision Science is a mix of Computer Science, Statistics, and Management Skills. In this bootcamp,
we will focus on Computer Science (C) and Statistics (S).
