if someone asks you where is data, what would your answer be? When we see, we are gathering data. When we eat, our tongue gather data. When you cool you gather data. Do you know if animals gather data? We saw how computers work by converting everything into data. Whether we see a picture, or listen to a song or perform calculations, we are working with data. In today's world data is becoming more and more important and we should develop skills of understanding data to make decisions.
In this unit, you will be learning the following:
- How to read data in various formats and representations and analyze
- Methods of data organizing, analysis and representation
- Processing and representing data in textual, image and numeric formats with different tools
