LO035412 Beginning Data Science with Python and Jupyter

    This fast-paced practical single-day course focuses on solving challenges presented by data science in a manner that is simple to conceptualize and easy to implement.

    This is achieved by leveraging Python libraries that offer abstractions to complicated underlying algorithms. The result is that data science becomes very approachable for beginners, a fact which is reflected by the strength and growing popularity of the Python ecosystem. In this course, we will cover every aspect of the standard data workflow process, including collecting, cleaning, investigating, visualizing, and modeling data.

    The Jupyter Notebook acts as an add-on tool – a virtual playground – that allows you to create and share live code, equations, visualizations, and text.

    By touching on a variety of topics within the discipline, you'll be exposed to many interesting examples with real-world data.
