About the course: This course is part of the graduate program, Master of Science in Data Science in the Mathematics and Statistics Department. The purpose of this course is to get familiar with implementations of the methods we learned in TDA I and II and use the methods as part of standard tasks. We will do that by doing hands-on project design and data manipulation. I will describe 3 projects to be finished during the semester as part of a team. The results will be written up as reports and include the code in the form of Python notebooks.

Grades: The course letter grades will be based on the total score obtained from the following activities:

    Team participation as assessed by your teammates  = 10%
    Three projects: design and implementation  = 45%
    Three projects: reports out  = 45%
