About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including fundamental python programming techniques such as lambdas, reading and manipulating csv files, and the numpy library. The course will introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the Series and DataFrame as the central data structures for data analysis, along with tutorials on how to use functions such as groupby, merge, and pivot tables effectively. By the end of this course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses. This course should be taken before any of the other Applied Data Science with Python courses: Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, Applied Machine Learning in Python, Applied Text Mining in Python, Applied Social Network Analysis in Python....

This is the practical course.There is some concepts and assignments like: pandas, data-frame, merge and time. The asg 3 and asg4 are difficult but I think that it's very useful and improve my ability.

The assessments, quizzes, and course coverage are quite good. The main points are covered, although it does not cover everything. Additionally, it provides opportunities to learn and conduct research.

An amazing start to hard work that data scientist do! Its not all applying fancy algorithms, you have to get your hands dirty and clean up your own data.

Challenging, and some of the questions were poorly/wrongly worded. But the exercises were good practice, and manageable with some programming experience.

Is challenging and you learn about a bunch of different aspects of pandas. Never forget to take notes about what you are learning and review them later.

I really learned a lot from this course. On topic concept delivery, simplistic codes, tricky question but once u get them it could not get any simpler
