DATA 160

Welcome to DATA 160: Survey of Data Analytics with Code.

We use the following textbook for the course: Python Data Science Book

What is this course about?

In this class you will learn to use the programming language Python, together with standard data science code libraries/packages, to analyze data in a variety of ways.

The primary course outcomes are:

Do I need to know how to code already?

Nope! However you do need to be persistent – coding is all about trying something until it works.

What other course references are there?

Some of the code tools we use in this course slightly differ from those in the textbook. Namely, we use Plotly Express for plotting, and Quartofor constructing course dashboards. (This website was also constructed using Quarto!)

You can find any and all code that I have made publicly available for this course at this demo code reference
