INFO-I 368 Introduction to Network Science
- Description
- Friends, computers, the Web, and our brain are examples of networks that pervade our lives. Network science helps us understand complex patterns of connection, interaction, and relationships in many complex systems. Students learn essential concepts and core ideas of network literacy, and basic tools to handle social and information networks.

INFO-I 421 Applications of Data Mining
- Description
- The course explores the use of data-mining techniques in different settings, including business and scientific domains. The emphasis will be on using techniques, instead of developing new techniques or algorithms. Students will select, prepare, visualize, analyze, and present data that leads to the discovery of novel and usable information.

INFO-I 422 Data Visualization
- Description
- From dashboards in a car to cutting-edge scientific papers, we extensively use visual representation of data. As our world becomes increasingly connected and digitized and as more decisions are being driven by data, data visualization is becoming a critical skill for every knowledge worker. In this course we will learn fundamentals of data visualization and create visualizations that can provide insights into complex datasets.
