Course details
Data science has transformed the way that government and industry leaders look at both specific problems and the world at large. Curious about how data analysis works in practice? In this course, instructor Michele Vallisneri explains what it takes to get started with data science using Python.
Michele demonstrates how to set up your analysis environment and provides a refresher on the basics of working with data structures in Python. Then, he jumps into the big stuff: the power of arrays, indexing, and tables in NumPy and pandas. He also guides you through two sample big-data projects: using NumPy to identify and visualize weather patterns and using pandas to analyze the popularity of baby names over the last century. Challenges issued along the way help you practice what you've learned. Plus, learn about the skills in the basic tasks of data analysis: importing and wrangling, summarizing and visualizing, modeling, and reasoning.
