Data Science Fundamentals 1: Get introduced into algorithmic thinking and programming with Python. Voluntary course for CAS ADS participants.

Tabs

  • Programming

    Algorithms and programming are important tools in data driven research. Python is a good scripting language widely used to make pipelines of tasks typical for large computations and analysis on large datasets. It suits the purpose of starting programming in it, as well. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(Programmiersprache).

    People new to programming may attend DSF 1-3. Due to the large content amount, it is for those not recommeded to attend DSF 4-5 in the same block.
