Programming for Data Science

(3 Credits)

The class will teach students about programming for applications in data science. Students will study the Python language and packages including tools for array operations, table manipulations, time series analysis, visualization, and data extraction. Through a focus on examples, students will learn about query languages, version control systems, and web frameworks. Experience with debugging, testing and documenting programs will enable students to code in integrated development environments and command line interfaces. Generative AI technologies for code completion and question-answering will also be introduced to complement and extend the programming best practices acquired in class.
