What You Will Learn
Syllabus
Data Visualization
Prerequisite Knowledge
Basic Python skill, statistics and probability concepts.
Data Visualization in Data Analysis
Understand why visualization is important in the practice of data analysis and know what distinguishes exploratory analysis from Explanatory analysis and the role of data visualization in each.
Design of Visualizations
Interpret features in terms of level of measurement and know different encodings that can be used to depict data in visualizations.
Univariate Exploration of Data
Use bar charts to depict distributions of categorical variables.
Bivariate Exploration of Data
Use scatterplots to depict relationships between numeric variables.
Multivariate Exploration of Data
Use encodings like size, shape and color to encode values of a third variable in a visualization.
Explanatory Visulizations
Understand what it means to tell a compelling story with data and choose the best plot type, encodings and annotations to polish your plots.
Visulization Case Study
Apply your knowledge of data visualization to a dataset involving the characteristics of diamonds and their prices.
Course Project: Communicate Data Findings
Real-world data rarely comes clean. Using Python, you’ll gather data from a variety of sources, assess its quality and tidiness, then clean it. You’ll document your wrangling efforts in a Jupyter Notebook, plus showcase them through analyses and visualizations using Python and SQL.

Introducing new Udacity Single Courses
Introducing new Udacity Single Courses
Our students asked and we listened. You can now get the in-demand tech skills you need faster and for less money by enrolling in one of our new, one-month Single Courses. You’ll get the specific job-ready skills you need in as little as four weeks and for a fraction of the cost.
Of course if you are looking for a more robust, in-depth education, you can still enroll in one of our 3-6 month Nanodegree programs.
Both programs are part-time and online, and they both offer 24/7 support, quality Udacity-produced content, courses created with the help of top tech companies, and more. You can always start with a Single Course and upgrade to a full Nanodegree program if you like.

Program Details
Do I need to apply? What are the admission criteria?
No. This Course accepts all applicants regardless of experience and specific background.What are the prerequisites for enrollment?
A well-prepared student should:
- Be able to use Anaconda to manage packages and environments for use with Python
- Be able to use Jupyter notebook to combine explanatory text, math equations, code, and visualizations in one sharable document
- Have basic Python skill: use NumPy and Pandas to wrangle, explore, analyze, and visualize data
- Be familiar with basic statistics and probability concepts such as linear regression, the normal distribution
How is this course structured?
The Data Visualization course is comprised of content and curriculum to support one project. We estimate that students can complete the program in 16 hours.
The project will be reviewed by the Udacity reviewer network and platform. Feedback will be provided and if you do not pass the project, you will be asked to resubmit the project until it passes.How long is this course?
