The IBM Data Science Professional Certificate provides learners with a thorough grounding in data science, the role of the data scientist in our world, and the approaches they use to solve real-world challenges. You will grow familiar with popular data science tools, including Jupyter notebooks, RStudio IDE, and IBM Cloud. And you will become skilled in using data science methodology to build, test, and train data models. Additionally, you will learn how to work with Python, and become proficient in various Python libraries such as pandas, NumPy and BeautifulSoup. You will develop a project in Python to test and demonstrate your knowledge. Other skills you learn during the course will also enable you to design data science models and AI applications. Through practice SQL exercises on real-world data sets, you will develop a thorough understanding of the role of SQL and databases. You will also create impactful visual representations of data with Python data visualization libraries – Matplotlib, Seaborn, Folium, Plotly and Dash. And you will be introduced to machine learning, including regression, classification, and clustering. Your IBM capstone project will be to design and build a data model that endeavours to solve a real-world issue. This project will be submitted to IBM for evaluation.
