Course Summary

Python has emerged as a popular and effective language in the world of data science. The dynamic nature of the language, the relative simplicity of the syntax, and the abundance of fast and powerful libraries have all been important contributory factors in this growth.

This course takes a detailed look at the most popular Python libraries for numeric processing, statistical analysis, machine learning, and visualization. We also show how to make use of common Python data types and algorithms to achieve real-world tasks.
