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....

It's very useful specially for new learner because it only dives into the part of python that data science need. I strongly recommend to anyone even if you don't have experience in programming before.

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.

So useful, learn the course through programming assignment, you need to do a lot of self-study and google, not just restrict within the course material, this is the way I love to study

Very Nice, it explains pandas from the basics.

I would just wish that u would have an autograder like the one in Python for everbody course by Dr.Chuck

This one is a little bit annoying

In-depth course with great material and good assignments. The language used in the assignments is a bit difficult to comprehend, not all questions are clear as what needs to be done.

I find it more efficient for me writing own code following the jupyter notebook first and watching video second. And the book Python for Data Analysis is helpful to this course too.

Really amazing course, I leaned a lot about pandas, how to manage and clean data and extract value out of that. I've learned a little about statistics, specially hypothesis testing.

Very helpful in learning Pandas. Overall a very well designed short course. The only minor difficulty I had was HW submission. It took some time to figure out what could be wrong.

Great course! You have to do a lot of research of your own to have a better understanding of things. Besides that, this is a great course to kick off your carreer on Data Science.

Course assignments are very tough and for not for beginner level python knowledge. You have to look up on various documentation time to time and the assignments take a lot of time

One of the best course that i came across it. It is a intermediate course as i say because of the assignment and you should have knowledge in Python and libraries. Happy Learning

This course is a bit too hard for me. I strongly recommend people with no programming experience (like me) take further consideration. You'd better take a beginners' course first.
