About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Solving complex computational problems is a resource-demanding task. The traveling salesperson problem (TSP) is one such problem, which is an NP-hard problem. In the era of data science, data-centric approaches have evolved to be a good choice to approximate the solutions. In this course, you’ll dive into the fascinating realm of geospatial data manipulation, distance calculation, clustering, network graphs, and Docker containerization, all tied together to optimize the challenging TSP. You’ll first grasp the intricacies of manipulating geospatial data and plotting it. Next, you’ll delve into clustering sales data, enhancing your ability to make data-driven decisions and visualize the data mining results in interactive dashboards. By the end of this course, you’ll be skilled in tackling TSP effectively and creating geospatial data visualizations. You’ll also be well-equipped to scale route optimization, data analysis, and cloud deployment.

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
