From the course: The Data Science of Economics, Banking, and Finance

The data science of finance

- [Barton] Money isn't a thing, it's an idea. That's because the vast majority of financial transactions these days don't involve physical exchanges, but rather the exchange of data that signifies value and ownership. And so to understand money, you need to understand data. I'm Barton Poulson, and in this brief course we'll take a nontechnical, conceptually-oriented look at how data science can be effectively used to understand money in the fields of economics, banking, and finance in both formal and informal settings. Anyone with an interest in the business of money, regardless of their technical background, can get important ideas and insights from this course. Let's get started with The Data Science of Economics, Banking, and Finance.
