Have you ever wondered how Netflix figures out what movies you'll be interested in, or how Amazon decides what products to show you on its homepage? Data analysis is at the heart of the advertising industry. Of course, it's used for much more than that--all kinds of businesses, educational programs, and social services rely on data science to make decisions.
In this introductory course, you'll learn the basics of interpreting large quantities of data and extracting useful information from it. You'll find out about public datasets that can be downloaded freely. You’ll then take this data and import it into spreadsheets, organize it into tables, extract and highlight relevant information, discover patterns, and create visualizations that provide useful insights.
