In “NumPy and Pandas Basics for Future Data Scientists,” learn programming techniques using Python's NumPy and pandas libraries to write efficient and bug-free code for numerical computing.
At the start of the course, you’ll be introduced to the NumPy library and will learn to perform basic NumPy array operations. After understanding the basics of the NumPy library, you’ll explore more advanced array manipulations, including aggregating functions, broadcasting, reshaping, sorting, and joining arrays. By the end of this course, you will have the skills to apply multiple data manipulation techniques using advanced methods and apply functions to your code. This is the second course in the four-course series, “Data-Oriented Python Programming and Debugging,” where you’ll work to strengthen your programming capabilities and enhance your problem-solving skills.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
