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....

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.

The course had helped in understanding the concepts of NumPy and pandas. The assignments were so helpful to apply these concepts which provide an in-depth understanding of the Numpy as well as pandans

Nice course. Little, minimal, with the most important aspects covered. I liked the assignments, and that it required more individual learning.

Solid introduction to Data Science in Python. I.e. this is not an introduction to Data Science but an introduction to how to do it in Python.

The videos are usually much easier than the assignments. Require tons of self learning to pass the assignments. Challenging but interesting!

Quite a fast paced course, would be good to have some background knowledge of Python and statistics but not essential. Tough but achievable.

This course uses data from real-life examples. Although it is painful to clean the data, it does show you the true color of this kind works.
