<P><STRONG><EM>What this program is about:</EM></STRONG></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Our program</SPAN><SPAN> serves as the foundation for many well-known concepts of data science. We teach practical techniques and algorithms for extracting and studying useful knowledge from data. This course is not a theory class as we believe there are many ways to learn statistics and analytics concepts on your own. We are providing students with a set of practical tools for data science and knowledge on how to apply Python to solve linear algebra, statistics, and probability problems. This course is designed to fill the gap between theoretical academic research and the needs of the industry. </SPAN><SPAN>We will start with a crash course on the basics of the Python programming language and then learn how to </SPAN><SPAN>use <SPAN>Python to turn raw data into insight and knowledge.</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN CLASS="apple-converted-space"><SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><STRONG><EM>What to expect from this program:</EM></STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN>Fundamental introduction to Data Science using Python programming language, practical application of different statistical, analytical and linear algebra models to a variety of data science projects, and feeling comfortable enough to apply acquired knowledge on your own seeking a junior data scientist position.</SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></P>

<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN> </SPAN></H3>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal"><EM>Who is this program for:</EM></H3>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Novice and people with no previous programming experience, seeking a comprehensive course to enter </SPAN><SPAN>the field of data and analytics and become data scientists</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN></P>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal"><EM>How this program is organized:</EM></H3>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Lecture on new topics takes about 90 minutes and starts at 10.00am. After lecture, students start working on new exercises with instructor guidance. Around 1.00pm students present and discuss their work with instructors, learn alternative solutions, and best practices from instructors and invited data scientist professionals.</P>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal"><STRONG>Why Python:</STRONG></H3>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Many other programming solutions can be used for Data Science, however we chose high-level programming language Python because it is easy to learn if you are new to programming and it is in high demand.</P>
