Course Content
1. Introduction to Data Science
Learning Objectives - This module will give you an understanding of Big Data and the Roles and
Responsibilities of a Data Scientist. You will learn how Hadoop and R are used in Big Data Analytics and
what are the methodologies used in the Analysis. This module will cover common Big Data as well as
non-Big Data problems and available methods in Data Science to solve these problems. We will also
solve few real-life data sets a Data Scientist encounter in his day to day work using R, Hadoop and
Mahout.
Topics - Introduction to Big Data, Roles played by a Data Scientist, Analyzing Big Data using Hadoop and
R, Methodologies used for analysis, the Architecture and Methodologies used to solve the Big Data
problems, For example, Data Acquisition from various sources, Data preparation, Data transformation
using Map Reduce (RMR), Application of Machine Learning Techniques, Data Visualization etc., problem
statement of few data science problems which we shall solve during the course.
