Big Data and Data Science Program

1. Introduction
Big data (Big Data, also known as massive data) refers to larger or more complex data sets that cannot be processed by traditional data processing techniques. At the same time, in the case of the same total amount of data, after merging each small data set (Data set) to analyze a lot of additional information and data correlation, it can be used to analyze business trends, judge the quality of research, prevent the spread of diseases, fight crime or Measurement of real-time traffic conditions, etc., so the application level of big data is extremely wide, and it is also one of the main tools of social science and applied science in the future. In order to pay equal attention to learning and application, so that students can enter the industry immediately after graduation, the big data course is the main course to guide the future industrial development.

2. Setting purpose and goals
The design of this course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of big data, train students to be familiar with the theoretical basis of big data and the application of technology in the industry, so that students can create their own advantages through professional big data-related courses, and respond to global industrial development and The technological environment changes, effectively cultivating outstanding new talents suitable for social industries.
