In the past four years, we’ve seen the world use social network platforms such as Twitter and Facebook in extraordinary new ways. These platforms now process millions (350 million for Facebook alone!) of photos, and billions of updates every day. Want to learn how Data Analysts use this data?

Brown University Professor Michael Littman teaches you how to analyze these large social networks in Algorithms, a course we have recently upgraded to include coaching support and a verified certificate!
