Course Philosophy:

Machine learning is an important component of the growing field of data science. Through the use of statistical

methods, algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions, uncovering key insights within data

mining projects. These insights subsequently drive decision making within applications and businesses,

ideally impacting key growth metrics. As big data continues to expand and grow, the market demand for data

scientists will increase, requiring them to assist in the identification of the most relevant business questions

and subsequently the data to answer them.
