Hello everyone. I'm working through Data Science from Scratch by Joel Grus. It involves coding algorithms from scratch in Python. I sometimes get stuck or wonder if my solution is optimal. It’d be awesome to have a few people to compare code with and discuss the why behind it. We can pick a chapter, implement the exercises separately, then come together to review our approaches. Ideal for those who want to really understand data science fundamentals by coding them. I’m in GMT but very flexible on coordination.

Description

To really learn data science, you should not only master the tools—data science libraries, frameworks, modules, and toolkits—but also understand the ideas and principles underlying them. Updated for Python 3.6, this second edition of Data Science from Scratch shows you how these tools and algorithms work by implementing them from scratch.

If you have an aptitude for mathematics and some programming skills, author Joel Grus will help you get comfortable with the math and statistics at the core of data science, and with the hacking skills you need to get started as a data scientist. Packed with new material on deep learning, statistics, and natural language processing, this updated book shows you how to find the gems in today’s messy glut of data.

  • Get a crash course in Python
  • Learn the basics of linear algebra, statistics, and probability—and how and when they’re used in data science
  • Collect, explore, clean, munge, and manipulate data
  • Dive into the fundamentals of machine learning
  • Implement models such as k-nearest neighbors, Naïve Bayes, linear and logistic regression, decision trees, neural networks, and clustering
  • Explore recommender systems, natural language processing, network analysis, MapReduce, and databases

Learning is better with Cohorts

Active hands-on learning
Build assignments each week
Feedback loop
Submit your assignment, and receive feedback from your peers. Stuck on a problem?
Learn with a cohort of peers
Join a group of like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our study groups (all of them) are free to join

You join the group and study the MOOC together on a schedule. The exact dates, deadlines, are created by the host

This depends on the host of your group. Some groups have weekly video calls for accountability + doubt solving.

Moocable is a community where you can find study partners, mentors, or people to collaborate on projects. It's designed for people who want to upskill, but struggle with self-learning. Users often post about their skills, goals, and what they're looking to learn or work on, and others can respond to form partnerships or groups. You can join our community
