Probability and Statistics in Data Science using Python (edX)

Offered by University of California, San Diego, UC San DiegoX,
Probability and Statistics in Data Science using Python (edX)

Using Python, learn statistical and probabilistic approaches to understand and gain insights from data. The job of a data scientist is to glean knowledge from complex and noisy datasets. Reasoning about uncertainty is inherent in the analysis of noisy data. Probability and Statistics provide the mathematical foundation for such reasoning.

Advanced Algorithmics and Graph Theory with Python (edX)

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

Strengthen your skills in algorithmics and graph theory, and gain experience in programming in Python along the way. Algorithmics and programming are fundamental skills for engineering students, data scientists and analysts, computer hobbyists or developers. Learning how to program algorithms can be tedious if you aren’t given an opportunity to immediately practice what you learn. In this course, you won't just focus on theory or study a simple catalog of methods, procedures, and concepts. Instead, you’ll be given a challenge wherein you'll be asked to beat an algorithm we’ve written for you by coming up with your own clever solution.
