What is Data Analytics?
“Data analytics is the pursuit of extracting meaning from raw data using specialized computer systems. These systems transform, organize, and model the data to draw conclusions and identify patterns.” (Informatica, 2021)
Why Google Colab?
Colab allows anybody to write and execute arbitrary python code (and tools) through the browser, and is especially well suited to machine learning, data analysis and education. More technically, Colab is a hosted Jupyter notebook service that requires no setup to use, while providing free access to computing resources including GPUs.
