Introduction to Data Science Series
2019 Data Science and Analytics Foundations
Advanced Analytics and Research Lab is relaunching the popular introduction to data science workshops in a new format. With two workshops per weeks, learning the foundations of data sciences has never been so accessible. An immersive combination of readings, in person practical sessions, homework, group discussions, and group projects will help you upgrade your skills in a digital and data-driven world. The attendee will receive a certificate upon completion.
