MATH 327 Mathematical Foundations of Data Science
This course explores the mathematical foundations of algorithms used in the field of Data Science, typically taken after a course in mathematical statistics. It includes the study of classification and regression techniques, robust regression, decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, cross-validation techniques, forecasting models, and Topological data analysis. The course includes a data-driven project that requires the student to propose a question and gather, clean, and analyze data to present a response to a real-world problem.
