Course Overview

The Data Manipulation at Scale: Systems and Algorithms online course by Coursera is the first step in the Data Science at Scale Specialization series. The University of Washington offers the certification course in collaboration with Coursera.

The Data Manipulation at Scale: Systems and Algorithms online certification course aims to teach the landscape of relevant systems to the students and how these systems are evaluated along with the principles on which they rely. Students will also learn the context of data science as well as the history, skills and challenges that come while working with data. Moreover, students will get hands-on experience in learning how to structure a data science project. 

Additionally, the Data Manipulation at Scale: Systems and Algorithms class programme is a self-paced learning course so that students never have to worry about missing a class. At the same time, the course is 100% online so that they can learn from the comfort of their home. The students will be awarded a shareable certificate after completing the course, which can be shared on professional platforms.
