The Computational Data Science course also comprises of a case study on the analysis of how the industry today uses computational data science in real-world use cases. The broader curriculum of the course includes the mathematics of data science, neural networks, machine learning, data engineering and business analytics.
Sashikumaar Ganesan, Chair, Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) at IISc and programme said that through the programme the participants will practice on a variety of industry case studies and capstones. He said that this also allows the participants the opportunity to bring their own projects for solving which they will be mentored.
