Understanding the World Through Data (edX)

Computer Science

Become a data explorer – learn how to leverage data and basic machine learning algorithms to understand the world. Speech recognition, drones, and self-driving cars – things that once seemed like pure science fiction – are now widely available technologies, and just a few examples of how humans have taught machines to analyze data and make decisions. In this hands-on, introductory course, you will examine all the forms in which data exists, learn tools that uncover relationships between data, and leverage basic algorithms to understand the world from a new perspective.

Introduction to Functional Programming (edX)

CS: Software Engineering Engineering

The aim of this course is to teach the foundations of functional programming and how to apply them in the real world. Broadly speaking, functional programming is a style of programming in which the primary method of computation is the application of functions to arguments. Among other features, functional languages offer a compact notation for writing programs, powerful abstraction methods for structuring programs, and a simple mathematical basis that supports reasoning about programs.

Statistical Predictive Modelling and Applications (edX)

Statistics & Data Analysis Business

Learn how to apply statistical modelling techniques to real-world business scenarios using Python. In this course, you will learn three predictive modelling techniques - linear and logistic regression, and naive Bayes - and their applications in real-world scenarios. The first half of the course focuses on linear regression. This technique allows you to model a continuous outcome variable using both continuous and categorical predictors. This technique enables you to predict product sales based on several customer variables.
