Foundations of Data Science
Understand what Data Science is, how it differs from analytics and machine learning, what roles exist around it, and how a real project moves from business question to decision.
Chapter 2Python, NumPy, and pandas Essentials
Build the coding foundation for Data Science with Python basics, numerical computing in NumPy, and tabular analysis in pandas.
Chapter 3Statistics, Probability, and Linear Algebra Basics
Build the mathematical foundation needed to reason about data, uncertainty, relationships, distributions, and model behavior.
Chapter 4Data Cleaning and Exploratory Data Analysis
Learn how to inspect raw data, fix quality issues, interpret patterns, and develop useful hypotheses before modeling.
Chapter 5Visualization and Data Storytelling
Learn how to use charts for analysis and how to explain results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
Chapter 6Supervised Machine Learning
Learn regression and classification, common algorithms, model training flow, and how to think about supervised prediction problems.
Chapter 7Model Evaluation, Cross-Validation, and Tuning
Learn how to measure model quality honestly, avoid leakage, compare alternatives, and improve models through disciplined tuning.
Chapter 8Feature Engineering and Preprocessing
Learn how to transform raw columns into better inputs using encoding, scaling, date features, aggregation, and domain-aware preprocessing.
Chapter 9Unsupervised Learning and Dimensionality Reduction
Study clustering, anomaly detection, dimensionality reduction, and how to find structure in unlabeled data.
Chapter 10Time Series and Forecasting
Learn how to analyze time-ordered data, identify trend and seasonality, and build forecasting intuition for business planning.
Chapter 11Recommendation Systems and Text Analytics
Study personalized recommendation logic and learn how natural language data can be transformed into useful analytical features.
Chapter 12Deep Learning and Computer Vision
Understand where deep learning fits, what neural networks do, and how image-based systems are approached in practical settings.
Chapter 13MLOps, Deployment, Monitoring, and Big Data
Learn what happens after modeling: deployment patterns, monitoring, model lifecycle management, and working with larger data systems.
Chapter 14Capstone Projects, Portfolio Building, and Interview Guide
Bring everything together with project design, portfolio strategy, interview preparation, and a sustainable roadmap for long-term growth.
Chapter 15SQL, Data Warehousing, and Analytics Engineering
Deepen the data science track with the practical data access and modeling layer that supports real dashboards, experiments, and machine learning systems.
Chapter 16Experimentation, Causal Inference, and Advanced Case Studies
Complete the Data Science track with deeper thinking about experiments, causal reasoning, decision quality, and how advanced projects are evaluated in the real world.
