Math for Data Science. New course from OTUS

Hello everyone, today we want to talk about the launch of the new course "Mathematics for Data Science" , or rather a series of courses, more about this in our publication.







Not everyone studying in school understands how mathematics will be useful to them in life. The most common answer is to count money, but not everyone is born by cool financiers. Teachers of mathematics also understand this, and therefore they often teach through the stump deck. And so the man finished school, why mathematics is needed, he did not understand, but he learned to count money (both his own and others'), counted and wanted to work in IT, for example, in the field of machine learning, in order to earn a lot. It was then that it became clear what mathematics was for! But the school, like the institute, has long passed ...







There is a reverse situation: a person from childhood understood what mathematics was for, even finished a scholarship, calculated the average salary of a mathematics scientist, and realized that he had gone somewhere else. In search of an applied field with knowledge of a good mathematical apparatus, a person came across such a steep and sought-after sphere as Data Science .



All this is a preface, and now to the point.



In October, OTUS launches courses for people in all of these situations:







The basic mathematics course for Data Science is designed for those who have just decided to develop in the field of machine learning, and are faced with the fact that school knowledge in mathematics is completely insufficient for this. This course includes a classic gentlemanly set of mathematical knowledge necessary for further improvement in the field of machine learning: these are the basics of mathematical analysis, linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics . These are the main sections that will be qualitatively and competently explained to future IT-specialists, because the course is taught by a teacher with 10 years of experience . At the end of the basic math course, you will be ready to learn machine learning.



For those who studied higher mathematics at the university, OTUS opened the set for an advanced mathematics course for Data Science . If in the phrase “using derivatives for the approximation of the meaning of functions” you understand all the words, not just prepositions, and the phrase “operations on matrices” evokes memories of couples at the institute, and not the movie about Neo, then this course is for you . Having missed the basics, the teacher will give only those professional knowledge that will be useful for future work in Data Science: an in-depth study of linear algebra, mathematical analysis and probability theory. This course is not a dry math, but real cases from advanced Data Scientists, as well as programming in Python.







To enter an advanced mathematics course, you must pass a test, the results of which will demonstrate your readiness for training. Peter Lukyanchenko , a teacher who knows everything about Data Science and more, will tell you more about this course:







If you are still in doubt about which course to choose, on October 10 at 20:00 a free open webinar “Mathematics for Data Science: On the Way to Senior” will be held . This is a real online lesson with a teacher in the course of mathematics, during which you can ask your questions, see how lessons are generally taught in OTUS, and also make out real math cases. On October 10, Petr Lukyanchenko will tell you what mathematical apparatus middle / senior Data Scientist should have and what knowledge is needed to work on recommender systems, solving the regression problem, AB testing, CV or NLP, and will also help you remember the optimization of the function of many variables.



For those who have definitely decided to improve in the field of machine learning and study mathematics for this, OTUS combined the courses described above, and also added a Machine Learning course to them. We offer various combinations of purchasing these courses at a good discount: you can purchase any of the math courses for Data Science ( basic or advanced ), as well as, for example, a Machine Learning course. Get more knowledge, but pay less. More detailed information about the promotions can be viewed on the website or call us by phone +74991106165.




Thanks to OTUS, each person has a real opportunity to develop in the field of machine learning, without even having the necessary amount of knowledge in the field of mathematics.



Teachers with vast experience in Data Science will teach everything you need, and HR OTUS experts will tell you how to correctly compose a resume. OTUS cooperates with the largest IT companies, a full list of which can be found here , and all of them are very enthusiastic about the employment of OTUS graduates. After graduation, you will receive knowledge that will be sufficient for employment in the largest companies with decent pay.



Feel free to ask questions and see you in the courses!
