This post is a guide to the learning resources we have been using for the Mathematics Association of Nairobi University Data Science Workshop.

With an increase in demand for the use of data science tools and workflows on UoN Campus, Mathematics Association of Nairobi University (MANU) has organized a series of “Introduction to Data Science Workshops” to equip the learners with core data science tools.

The top three programming languages used by data scientists are SQL, Python  & R.
