The world now runs on data. If knowledge is power, data science is increasingly how we discover that knowledge.

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, exploration, and visualisation, as well as a conceptual understanding of many of the algorithms themselves.

The unit is designed to be exploratory and collaborative. Data science is a field that seeks to discover new knowledge and communicate it.
