Course Prerequisites
To successfully undertake the Cloudera Data Scientist course, students should have the following minimum prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of programming concepts, preferably in Python, as it is commonly used for data science tasks.
- Familiarity with command-line operations in Linux, as data scientists often interact with systems and software through the command line.
- Knowledge of fundamental statistics, as they form the basis for many data science algorithms and analytical processes.
- Experience with SQL and relational databases, as data scientists need to retrieve and manipulate data stored in these systems.
- An introductory level understanding of machine learning concepts and algorithms, which will be built upon throughout the course.
- Some exposure to data handling and processing, including working with large datasets, which is a core part of a data scientist's role.
These prerequisites are meant to ensure that participants can effectively grasp the course material and practical applications. However, motivated learners with a strong desire to immerse themselves in the field of data science are encouraged to take the course, as foundational skills can be developed along the way with additional effort and study.
