Course Introduction: Welcome to Foundations of Data Science! Data science provides the insights necessary to make all manner of personal and professional decisions. For example, the global populace has been inundated with data from charts and graphs depicting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. You may have used this data to decide if you should work from home, send your child to school, or engage in social activities. Even when the world is operating outside of such a global crisis, there are countless other concepts, ideas, and decisions data science informs; consider the volatility of the stock market or the collapse of the housing market. Every corner of our reality benefits from information generated by data science because relying on data to make sound decisions is more effective than relying on raw emotion or gut instinct. Decision-makers in every type of organization from governments to non-profits, to Fortune 500 companies, rely on data scientists to solve problems, uncover solutions, and identify trends.
