This is the GitHub organization of MAT381E: Introduction to Data Science at Department of Mathematics, Istanbul Technical University.
Throughout the semester, we will cover R data science packages and focus on data importing, cleaning, reshaping, manipulating, and visualizing.
The main topics which we cover are:
- Tools for data importing, manipulating, and tidying.
- Basic principles of data visualization and data visualization tools.
- Handling with strings and dates in data.
- Scraping data from web.
- Data extraction from social networking sites such as Twitter.
- Basic principles of text mining.
- Network analysis and visualization.
- Basic principles of geographic information system.
- Visualization of spatial and urban data.
- Web-based applications.
- Relational databases.
- Reproducible research.
In this course, students are expected to develop an introductory data science project motivated by data for "Social Good". For final projects, please visit here.
*ps. Over the years, I am planning to extend the scope of the projects, while sticking around "Data for Social Good".

This course could not be possible without ITU-Zoom, ITU-Ninova, RStudio along with all open-source packages, GitHub, GitHub Classroom and support of Data Camp.
