What Will You Get

You will learn how to collect, clean and analyze a data set to solve a real-world problem in the finance industry. You will obtain a real-world data set, form a hypothesis about it, clean, parse, and apply modeling techniques and data analysis principles to ultimately create a predictive model using Python and SQL.

SQL

  • Learn the basics of SQL and write your own queries to access and handle huge financial data from databases.
  • Learn about SQL various functions to perform data calculation and apply them to datasets to discover insights.
  • Expand your abilities by joining multiple sources of data and retrieve them from multiple tables.
  • Set up a SQL database on your own computer and practice the commands you’ve learned.

Python

  • Learn the basics of Python and perform financial data analysis to harvest insights and get competitive edges.
  • Write your first Python program by implementing concepts of variables, strings, functions, loops, and conditions
  • Work with practical financial data in Python, including reading and writing files, loading, working, and saving data with Pandas
  • Learn how to interpret data in Python using multi-dimensional arrays in NumPy, manipulate DataFrames in pandas, and embed plots into applications with Matplotlib

Why Python?

Course Highlight

The purpose of data analysis is to turn raw data into actionable insights. Much of the world’s raw data, in particular with financial data, exists in collections of tables called relational databases. Thus, in order to be an efficient finance professional, you must know how to extract and clean data from these databases using a programming language called SQL in different occasion like for the changing trend of stock market, comparison of a large amount of statistics and create complicated graph easily for more clear presentation.

Once you got the financial data you need, you would then use Python and various Python-related tools to harvest insights from your data to get a competitive edge, whether it is in creating data-driven financial models for business valuation, business analysis, risk management or simply create beautiful data visualizations to represent your financial data.

Unlike any other Data Analysis courses, this course focuses on SQL & Python specifically for finance professionals, helping you to be familiar with the most in demand tech skills in the 21st century and how you can apply these skills to your areas of expertise, whether it is portfolio analysis, financial trading, risk management or FinTech. You will learn the practical applications of the theoretical methodologies where you will blend technology and finance into construction of a model. This is a challenging course where you are expected to learn quickly.
