    Description
    This course examines the foundations of data science from three perspectives: inferential thinking, computational thinking, and real-world relevance. The course combines programming skills and statistical inference to ask questions and explore problems encountered in real-world datasets, from multiple fields of study, career paths, and everyday life. It also delves into social and legal issues surrounding data analysis, including issues of privacy and data ownership.
