Why take this course?
π Course Title: Statistics for Data Science
π Headline: Master the Mathematical Foundation of Data Science with Statistical Maths - From Basics to Advanced!
Unlock the World of Data Science with Solid Statistical Knowledge! π
Welcome to "Statistics for Data Science," the course that lays a robust mathematical foundation for your journey into the realm of data science. Here, we delve deep into the core of data science - Statistical Maths. This isn't just about crunching numbers; it's about understanding the language that speaks to data like none other.
Why Start with Statistics? π€
Before diving headfirst into coding with Python or R, it's crucial to grasp the fundamental statistical concepts. My experience tells me that Maths is approximately 80% of data science, while programming accounts for the remaining 20%. By starting with statistics and applying these principles later with programming languages like Python and R, you'll have a more profound understanding and better application of data analysis techniques.
