The world now runs on data. If knowledge is power, data science is increasingly how we discover that knowledge. With limitless possibilities for exploration and innovation, it is a field driven by discovery and communication. This subject introduces you to data science using simple and efficient toolkits in Python. You will explore various datasets and apply machine learning algorithms to them. In doing so, you will gain an understanding of data processing workflows, exploration, and visualisation, as well as a conceptual understanding of many of the algorithms themselves. Designed to be exploratory and collaborative, the subject offers you invaluable insights into a rapidly evolving field with diverse and increasingly important applications.
