This course introduces the field of data analytics, defined as the extensive use of data, applications, mathematical and statistical techniques and other skills that help businesses gain insights and understand a business performance.
This course focuses on ways to extract information from data in order to solve problems effectively. We will examine how analysts use data analysis technologies to improve decision-making. We will study the fundamental principles and techniques of data analysis, and we will examine real-world examples and cases to place data analysis techniques in context, to develop data-analytic thinking, and to illustrate that proper application is as much an art as it is a science.
