Description
Programming is an essential component in of the data scientist’s toolkit. This module will develop students’ programming skills, motivated by examples drawn from across the spectrum of data science problems. Students will learn how to design and implement complete solutions to data science problems using a range of tools and libraries.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
understand, explain, and apply the fundamental programming techniques used in data science.
understand, explain, and use core language constructs and data structures.
write, test and debug computer programs, where appropriate making effective use of an integrated development environment (IDE) and other programming aids.
design and document complete programs to solve data science problems, including the effective use of external libraries.
