1 Course Overview

Data science is a blend of programming tools, statistical analysis, algorithms, and machine learning principles. It involves the use of multiple approaches including statistics, scientific methodologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analysis. A data scientist will utilize all these instruments to then discover meaningful patterns hidden in raw data.

In this course, you will learn about key tools used in data science, including Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio IDE, and Zeppelin Notebooks. You will discover what each tool is used for, what programming languages they can execute, and what their features and limitations are. Using tools hosted in the cloud, you will then learn how to test each tool and run simple code in Python or R.

If you’re keen to pursue a career in the world of data science, this course on data science tools will introduce you to some critical technologies. Plus, it will provide you with important knowledge you need to progress through the remaining courses of the IBM Data Science Foundation Certificate to enable you to earn professional certification.

2 How It Works

This course comprises four purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning path. If you are thinking about taking the course separately, it is worth noting that it is part of the IBM Data Science Foundation Certificate Program and you may want to consider enrolling for the whole program rather than just enrolling for one course at a time.

It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules or submitting assignments. To give you an idea of how long the course takes to complete, it is anticipated that if you work 1-2 hours per week, you will complete the course in 4 weeks. However, as long as the course is completed before the end date, you can work at your own pace.

The materials for each module will become available when you start the particular module. Methods of learning and assessment will include videos, reading material, and online exam questions.

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.

As part of our mentoring service you will have access to valuable guidance and support throughout the course. We provide a dedicated discussion space where you can ask questions, chat with your peers, and resolve issues. Depending on the payment plan you have chosen, you may also have access to live classes and webinars, which are an excellent opportunity to discuss problems with your mentor and ask questions. Mentoring services may vary package wise.

3 Skills You Will Gain

After completing this course, you will have:

Introductory knowledge of the languages and tools used in data science.
An understanding of common open source tools used to perform data science tasks.
An introductory understanding of IBM tools for data science.

4 Who Should Enroll On This Program

Individuals looking to extend their introductory knowledge of data science.
Individuals who would like to explore the tools and technologies used in data science.
Invididuals who would like to begin understanding how to use a particular data science approach in their work.
