Introducción a R para ciencia de datos
R es un lenguaje de programación orientado a objetos y de código abierto, diseñado con un enfoque estadístico que permite realizar análisis avanzados utilizando pocas líneas de código. Una de sus principales características es que la mayoría de sus funciones están vectorizadas. Esto significa que las operaciones se aplican directamente a todos los elementos de un vector, sin necesidad de utilizar bucles para iterar sobre cada elemento. Como resultado, el código es más compacto, claro y eficiente. Gracias a su naturaleza de código abierto y su amplia adopción, R cuenta con una gran variedad de librerías especializadas en la manipulación y visualización de datos. Entre estas librerías, también se encuentran herramientas que facilitan considerablemente el desarrollo, entrenamiento, evaluación e implementación de modelos de aprendizaje automático. Este curso se centra en enseñar los conceptos básicos del lenguaje y cómo utilizar sus funciones para aprovechar al máximo su potencial. Aunque no es un curso dedicado exclusivamente al aprendizaje automático, proporciona los fundamentos necesarios para que los estudiantes puedan abordar cursos más avanzados en esta área utilizando R. Además, incluye un ejemplo práctico de aprendizaje automático en el último módulo, con el objetivo de mostrar lo sencillo que resulta entrenar y evaluar diferentes modelos con este lenguaje.

A Strategic Approach to Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity affects everyone, including in the delivery of basic products and services. If you or your organization want to better understand how to address your cybersecurity, this is the course for you and your colleagues to take -- from seasoned professionals to your non-technical colleagues. Your instructor, Dr. Charles Harry, has served on the front lines with the NSA (National Security Agency) and as an expert advising corporate and institutional leaders on managing cybersecurity risk. And he brings a rare and engaging perspective to help you learn cybersecurity from the ground up. A Strategic Approach to Cybersecurity provides a framework for understanding the interdependency of private and public entities and the complex systems affecting you and your organization, toward improving critical cybersecurity infrastructure impacting your security. While not its prerequisite, it builds on Dr. Harry’s first course, Cybersecurity for Everyone, with over 100,000 learners globally and growing, which AI Time Journal called “next-level” and highlighted as the top university cybersecurity offering online this year. The course lays the groundwork to understand and explore the key issues facing leaders and policy makers attempting to manage the problem of cybersecurity, from its technical foundations to the domestic and international policy considerations surrounding governance, privacy, and risk management, to applications for achieving the goals of an enterprise, an institution, or a nation. This course is designed for students with some or no background in information technology, whether a novice or active in the cybersecurity field (engineers and computer scientists will learn the broader context and business aspects of cybersecurity), and will provide the principles to understand the current debates shaping a rapidly evolving security landscape.

Please thank the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs for offering it on Coursera, the Faculty of Humanities for creating the lovely course content and the excellent reading material. Rarely have I seen an MOOC that is this well-researched and thought through. This is in addition to the excellent resources provided and the creative media. I finished the course and presently doing the honors-track. If I may introduce myself, I am Radi Radi, a Palestinian-Jordanian who lives on "Shajaret Al Dur" St. in Amman, Jordan. It was quite an coincidence to learn about her here. I work as a pilot and currently we are not flying anywhere currently so I thought of finishing this course. I am a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Ryerson Univeristy, Canada and this really felt like the 100-level electives I took in that it really is a university-level course. I have bought a few books that I have read about in your course and that meant that I have something else to do in this corona-imposed hiatus. After Once aviation kicks back into gear, I hope to be flying to Amsterdam Again. When that happens, I plan on bringing you guys a gift from Amman for your efforts. Many Thanks Radi Radi
