    1. Hey everyone! This is Max from the course – thanks so much for checking it out. šŸ™‚ We've got a ton of free resources over on the blog and my website at codingwithmax.com to help those of you who are curious or want to learn more.

      I hope this mini-course gives you a good basic insight into what the term 'data science' exactly entails, and I also hope it piques the curiosity in some of you to look into a career in data science!

      If you want to dive right into it, my full Data Scientist in 10 Weeks course can be found here: https://codingwithmax.teachable.com/p/data-scientist-10-weeks

      If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know! I'll definitely hang around here and check for any questions or comments. šŸ™‚

    2. thank you so much for this!!! Im going to college in the fall to major in public health, and I was thinking of picking up a data science minor as well. This is simple enough for me to understand what the field is + what it requires!!

    3. Hi Max, Very informative and interesting, Question, at 13:16 you talk about Continuous data and contrast every number from -infinity to +infinity (i.e. numerical infinity) with every number between "0" and "1", however, can those numbers be equally infinite as subdivisions can be infinite?

    4. Hey guys, I am starting my journey in Data Science und like to connect with other people. My plan is to make a certified Course in Data Science with exercises for the portfolio. Anyone here likes to join that journey to share experiences and discuss some interesting topics? I am really happy for every joining guy šŸ™‚
