After working in an IT business unit for almost 4 years, I began to develop a deeper interest in data analysis.
At first, I took Coursera courses to obtain this knowledge but, after considering my preferred learning styles, I pursued the OMDS at BU.
After one semester, I have learned how to implement numerous mathematical and programming concepts using Python and libraries including: Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, using Jupyter Notebooks.
