Course Description:

This course will cover fundamental algorithms and techniques used in Data Analytics. The statistical foundations will be covered first. Technological aspects like data
management, scalable computation and visualization will also be covered. This course introduces students to the science of business analytics while casting a keen eye
toward the artful use of numbers found in the digital space. The goal is to provide businesses and managers with the foundation needed to apply data analytics to real-world
challenges they confront daily in their professional lives. Students will learn to identify the ideal analytic tool for their specific needs; understand valid and reliable ways to
collect, analyze, and visualize data; and utilize data in decision making for their agencies, organizations or clients.
