1 Introduction to Data Science Python Basics

This unit introduces the fundamentals of data science, including its lifecycle, applications, and importance in modern decision-making. Learners will get familiar with Python programming essentials such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, and basic input/output operations. The focus is on building a strong programming foundation required for data analysis.

2 Data Handling with NumPy and Pandas

This unit covers data manipulation and numerical computing using Python libraries. Students will learn how to create and manipulate arrays using NumPy and work with structured datasets using Pandas DataFrames. Key topics include data loading, indexing, slicing, filtering, aggregation, and handling missing values.

3 Data Cleaning and Preprocessing

This unit focuses on preparing raw data for analysis. Learners will understand techniques for handling missing data, removing duplicates, data transformation, normalization, and encoding categorical variables. Emphasis is placed on improving data quality to ensure accurate and meaningful analysis.

4 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

In this unit, students will explore datasets to identify patterns, trends, and relationships. Topics include descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and feature understanding. Learners will use Pandas and visualization tools to summarize and interpret data effectively.

5 Data Visualization and Storytelling

This unit introduces visualization techniques using Matplotlib and Seaborn. Students will learn to create various plots such as bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, and heatmaps. The focus is on communicating insights clearly through visual storytelling and dashboards.

6 Introduction to Machine Learning Mini Project

This unit provides a basic introduction to machine learning concepts, including supervised learning and simple models like linear regression.
