Description
This course will teach you the complete foundations of machine learning that you need to get a job in data science (and do a great job afterward). The course will help you:Pass job interviews and technical quizzesAvoid rookie mistakes that waste companies' time and moneyBe prepared for real work.Important stuff about this course:You won't spend hours learning stuff that never comes up in a job interview.Total beginners are welcome; coding experience or advanced math knowledge are not required.It was designed by an industry expert who's been on the hiring side of the table and knows what companies are looking for.This course will be of great help if you are:A student who wants to prepare for work in data science after graduating.An established professional or academic who wants to switch careers to data science.A total beginner who wants to dabble in machine learning and data science for the first time.How is this different from an academic course or a bootcamp?In academic courses, your teacher spends hours speaking about calculus and linear algebra, but then none of that comes up in a job interview! That in-depth knowledge certainly has a place but is not what most companies are looking for.In bootcamps you tend to learn how to use many tools but not how they work under the hood. This black-box knowledge is what companies want to avoid the most in applicants!This course sits in between-you gain foundational knowledge and truly understand machine learning, without spending time on unimportant stuff.
