Course overview
The purpose of data analysis is to turn raw data into actionable insights. Much of the world’s raw data, in particular with financial data, exists in collections of tables called relational databases. Thus, in order to be an efficient finance professional, you must know how to extract and clean data from these databases using a programming language called SQL in different occasion like for the changing trend of stock market, comparison of a large amount of statistics and create complicated graph easily for clearer presentation.
Once you got the financial data you need, you would then use Python and various Python-related tools to harvest insights from your data to get a competitive edge, whether it is in creating data-driven financial models for business valuation, business analysis, risk management or simply create beautiful data visualizations to represent your financial data.

Final Project
For the Data Analysis course, you will learn how to collect, clean and analyze a data set to solve a real-world problem. You will obtain a real-world data set, form a hypothesis about it, clean, parse, and apply modeling techniques and data analysis principles to ultimately create a predictive model using Python and SQL.
Students present their results and each write a report that includes the following:
‣ Clearly articulated a financial problem statement
‣ Summary of data acquisition, cleaning, and parsing stage
‣ Clear presentation of your predictive model and the processes you took to create it
‣ Presentation style appropriate to both technical and non technical audience alike
As you complete stages of your final project, you may be required to present materials and receive feedback from your instructional team, classmates as well as industry experts.
*The final project should be financial related, for example a model which could clearly show that changing trend of the stock market.
