Course Overview

Data Science Math Skills certification is a 13 hours online course that is divided into 5 weeks and is an offering of Coursera along with Duke University. This course is very useful for those who want to keep on learning the basics of mathematics irrespective of whether they have learnt pre-calculus or algebra. Learning math skills through both androids, and apple devices will create the basis for successful data science.

Data Science Math Skills training forms the introduction for core math skills that data science requires, without any extra complexity, by introducing math symbols, and unfamiliar ideas one at a time. Besides this being a beginner course, this certification can act as a prerequisite for the “Mastering Data Analysis in Excel” course. Anyone who has successfully completed this gets to understand advanced concepts of maths like problem-solving along with certificates that are shareable.

  • Set theory, including Venn diagrams
  • Interval notation, and algebra with inequalities
  • Properties of the real number line
  • Math on the Cartesian (x,y) plane, slope, and distance formulas
  • Uses for summation and Sigma notation
  • Exponents, logarithms, and the natural log function
  • Concept of instantaneous rate of change and tangent lines
  • Graphing and functions descriptions and their inverses on the x-y plane,
  • Probability theory, including Bayes’ theorem

Admission Details

The Data Science Math Skills admission process is as follows:

Step 1: Visit the official website: https://www.coursera.org/learn/datasciencemathskills

Step 2: The button ‘Join For Free’, located on the top right corner has to be clicked by the participants. 

Step 3: At the next step, the participants will need to make free accounts on Coursera.

Step 4: After signing up, candidates will either start paying the fee at one go or look for financial aid, if available.

Step 5: The faster the above steps are done, admission is given.
