Introduction to Data Science
Data science is a multidisciplinary field that employs various techniques to extract insights and knowledge from data. A well-structured data science course module covers the essential aspects of data collection, cleaning, analysis, and visualization. This guide aims to provide an overview of what you can expect from a comprehensive data science course module.
