Elective course in Data Science. Permission of the Chairperson is required.
As every sports fan knows, the sports world is full of statistics and data. From simple win-loss records, to the number of goals by right- handed defensemen during the 3rd period. This course introduces the process of data science through the lens of predicting outcomes in professional sports. Leave "gut feelings" to the pundits; in this course you will make predictions based on data. Learn to collect, clean, summarize, visualize, and analyze data, and use that data to build predictive models. This course will emphasize the concepts and thought processes involved in data science rather than the underlying mathematical/statistical theory. As such, no mathematical background beyond algebra is required and no prior computer coding experience is required.
