Intro

The amount of data available today is enormous. For example streaming services collect data from millions of users, companies with loyalty card gather information about consumption habits, etc. The massive amount of data does not provide any benefits unless you know how to summarize, visualise and interpret it. In this course you will familiarise yourself with basic data-analysis methods needed in business - you will learn how to turn data into useful information.
