INTRODUCTION TO PANDAS

In this course you will learn about Pandas which is a very popular data science library.  You will code along with me and learn:

- how to read in data in a useable table form using Pandas

- look at the data and describe the shape in Pandas

- complete basic statistics on your data

- how to select rows, columns, ranges in your data set

- how to sort and filter your data

- the taxonomy of Pandas

When you have watched the videos you can practice your new skills with the workbooks. This course contains 15 video tutorials with over 43 minutes of videos and 3 downloadable and printable workbooks.  On average it takes around 4 hours to fully complete. When you buy a course you get an email with the link and password to the course. All you need to do is go to the relevant web page and type in the password. You will then have unlimited access to the course for one month.

This course is suitable for people who have Python programming skills including understanding how to use and manipulate numerical data, strings, Booleans, lists, tuples and ranges.  You should be comfortable with the programming fundamentals of if, elif and else statements, for and while loops and functions.  Be able to plot scatter, line, histograms and pie charts in Matplotlib, and how to choose which graph to use.  A good working knowledge of NumPy arrays, array management and manipulation.
