This course will help students to learn how to use Python and other tools to scrape, clean, and process data. The course will also help students to use data management techniques to store data locally and in cloud infrastructures, use statistical methods and visualization to quickly explore data, apply statistics and computational analysis to make predictions based on data, apply basic computer science concepts such as modularity, abstraction, and encapsulation to data analysis problems. In addition, it implement data-intensive computations on cluster and cloud infrastructures using MapReduce, effectively communicate the outcome of data analysis using descriptive statistics and visualizations​
