Course description
This course aims to teach a suite of algorithms and concepts to a diverse set of participants interested in the general concept of fitting data to models. It starts with mostly simple linear algebra and computational methods, and introduces some more difficult mathematical concepts towards the end. This method also, by design, fits in with our approach of morning lectures and afternoon practice on personal computers. The combined teaching system provides opportunities for much hands-on learning and participants leave the course with practical knowledge of the basic algorithms.
Applied data science enjoys widespread application in nearly every industry today. It lies at the intersection of the quantitative (statistics and optimization), the computational (programming and IT), and the domanial (business knowledge).
