Dear KBTU students and applicants! We are glad to inform you that a crush course "Data Analysis with Python" is being launched at KBTU.

This crash course introduces the basic programming techniques oriented on Python coding language. Python is a multipurpose high-level interpreted coding language. It is trendy among beginners because of its simplicity and modularity. Python is a solid and robust tool in the hands of data scientists since its simplicity helps them concentrate on the programming objectives without spending too much effort on achieving the best coding practices and coding maintainability.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the main concepts of programming
  • To be able to solve basic statistical and mathematical problems using Python

The course will take place on March 29, 30, 31.

Time: 18:00 - 21:00 (Nur-Sultan time)

The course will be taught by Professor Christian Capone, Ph.D. ABD, MBA, PMP
