Data Mining

Division: Natural Science and Math

Department: Mathematics

Course: MATH 3280

Title: Data Mining

Prerequisites: Prerequisites: Math 3080 and (either Math 2270 or Math 2250) with a C or better in each course.

Description: Students will learn to efficiently find structures and patterns in large data sets. Topics will include acquiring data sets and cleaning messy and noisy raw data sets into structured and abstract forms; applying scalable and probabilistic algorithms to these well-structured abstract data sets; and, formally modeling and analyzing the error inherent in these methods. Students will consider data representations and trade-offs between accuracy and scalability.
