Overview: Analyzing baby names

- [Instructor] In this chapter, we are going to practice using Pandas with an intriguing real-world use case. We will analyze the US Social Security baby name catalog, which lists the names given to male and female newborns for every year since 1880. This is a very simple data set, but it's great fun to play with, and it has been mined, analyzed, and visualized in many publications and websites. We will use the social security data to track the popularity of names across all years, and to extract the 10 most popular names in a year. All of this with Pandas, of course.
