Course description:
The aim of the course is to introduce the basic concepts of data science in a practical approach, building on previously acquired mathematical knowledge. From the very beginning, students will experience the knowledge through real-life application examples, in a spiral They will acquire precise theoretical knowledge and at the same time practical hands-on knowledge in a progressively deeper and deeper way. The theoretical part of the course focuses on machine learning algorithms, while the practical exercises build on the knowledge of the Python language.
