Science major will be able to apply computational, mathematical, and statistical thinking to data-rich problems in a wide variety of fields in a responsible and ethical manner.

The facility includes 1,100 CPU cores and nearly 400 terabytes of disk space, all connected directly to the backbone of the campus network. The facility uses technology developed by Miron Livny, a UW-Madison computer science professor specializing in distributed computing, which pools the computing power of thousands of processors to conduct number crunching at a huge scale. Livny leads a national initiative, called the Open Science Grid, that uses this ability to collect and divide data from the particle detector project at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland. ©UW-Madison University Communications 608/262-0067 Photo by: Jeff Miller Date: 07/08 File#: NIKON D3 digital frame 7313"><img width="640" height="426" src="https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-768x511.jpg" class="attachment-medium_large size-medium_large" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-768x511.jpg 768w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-300x200.jpg 300w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-600x400.jpg 600w, https://stat.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/870/2020/07/distribute_computing08_7313-900x600.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure></div> </div> </div>  </div>  <div class="uw-outer-row row-2 default-background has_accordion_panel uw-outer-row-top-padding-default uw-outer-row-bottom-padding-default uw-row-default">  <div class="uw-inner-row"> <div class="uw-column uw-row-header"> <h2>Plan Your Data Science Major</h2> </div> <div class="uw-column one-column"> <div class="uw-page-element uw-pe uw-pe-accordion_panel" data-page-element="accordion_panel" > <div class="uw-accordion"> <p class="show-for-sr">This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.</p> <div class="uw-accordion-controls"> <button class="uw-button-unstyle uw-accordion-expand-all" aria-label="Expand all panels" aria-pressed="false">Expand all</button><button class="uw-button-unstyle uw-accordion-collapse-all" aria-label="Collapse all panels" aria-pressed="true" disabled>Collapse all</button> </div> <h3 class="uw-accordion-header"> Future Semester Enrollment Information </h3> <div class="uw-accordion-panel -uw-accordion-is-hidden"> <div class="uw-accordion-panel-inner uw-clearfix"> <p>The spring <a href="https://enroll.wisc.edu/search">Schedule of Classes</a> is now available.

It is a great fit if you are interested in analyzing data on all scales such as building algorithms, math underpinnings, and video programming.</p> <p>The Data Science certificate provides foundational data analysis and programming skills for high-end users of data science tools. It does not require any calculus, only fulfillment of Quantitative Reasoning A. Having some math or algebra background is helpful.

While all of the courses both teach introductory statistics, STAT 240 is a 4 credit course that includes programming in the R language, as well as data management, analysis, and modeling.

This works for the Data Science major as well since COMP SCI 300 both counts for the major and serves as a prerequisite to COMP SCI 320.</p> <p>CS-DS interested students should NOT take COMP SCI 220.

In addition, we advise students to do the following:</p> <ol> <li>Look at your DARS report via MyUW. Read it over carefully to find deficiencies-if you are meeting all requirements to graduate, everything will be <strong>GREEN</strong>. Be aware that each major (if you have more than one) will have its own DARS report <ul> <li>*Keep in mind that your DARS is showing in-progress classes as classes you will keep and pass. If you do not pass your classes, have an incomplete grade, or get the GPA you need, this could influence your graduation date</li> </ul> </li> <li>Check to make sure your major(s) is/are declared correctly. That is, make sure you have officially added and/or dropped majors so that the list of majors on record is exactly what you want for graduation.
