The Data Science Companion provides an introduction to data science. You will gain a quick background in data science and core machine learning concepts, such as regression and classification. You’ll be introduced to the practical knowledge of data processing and visualization using low-code solutions, as well as an overview of the ways to integrate multiple tools effectively to solve data science problems. You will then leverage cloud resources from Amazon Web Services to scale data processing and accelerate machine learning model training. By the end of this short course, you will have a high-level understanding of important data science concepts that you can use as a foundation for future learning.
Explore or refresh your knowledge of the core purpose of data science and the two main categories of machine learning models, regression and classification.
Perform core tasks in data processing and visualization, experimenting with different options with the help of interactive, graphical tools, before committing to a solution in code.
Scale the processing of large data sets and speed up the training time of machine learning models in MATLAB by using cloud resources available from Amazon Web Services.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
