…Course objective
This course will cover fundamental algorithms and techniques used in Data
Analytics. The statistical foundations will be covered first, followed by various
machine learning and data mining algorithms. Technological aspects like data
management, scalable computation and visualization will also be covered.
In summary, this course will provide exposure to theory as well as practical
systems and software used in data analytics.

After completing this course, you will learn how to:

• Find a meaningful pattern in data

• Graphically interpret data
• Implement the analytic algorithms
• Handle large scale analytics projects from various domains
• Develop intelligent decision support systems
