MAT 150 Introduction to Data Analysis

3 hours 

The modern world abounds in data. But what is data? How is it represented and manipulated? What general properties can data have, and how can different kinds of data be characterized? How does one tell if two kinds of data are the same or different? This course seeks to answer these questions through the use of real datasets and open ended computer programming. You will learn to find and investigate real rata sources, creatively visualize the patterns in data, and establish reliable inferences about practical situations using a programming language such as R or Python.
