APCOMP 209A/CS 109A/STAT 109A is an interdisciplinary course that relies on the data science process; the course equips students with computational, mathematical, and statistical methods for analyzing data, making inferences, and predicting outcomes, covering subject matter including tech, medicine, and pop culture. The course emphasizes not only theoretical understanding but also the practical application of these methods to real-world datasets, helping students recognize the value and impact of data in diverse fields. While no strict prerequisites are required, a fundamental understanding of calculus, linear algebra (Math 1b), programming (CS 50) and statistics (Stat 100) is highly recommended to get the most out of this challenging but rewarding course.
