Python Packages for Data Science

Overview

How many times have you decided to learn a programming language but got stuck somewhere along the way, grew frustrated, and gave up? This specialization is designed for learners who have little or no programming experience but want to use Python as a tool to play with data. Now that you have mastered the fundamentals of Python and Python functions, you will turn your attention to Python packages specifically used for Data Science, such as Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn. Are you ready? Let's go! Logo image courtesy of Mourizal Zativa. Available on Unsplash here: https://unsplash.com/photos/gNMVpAPe3PE

Syllabus

Hello, packages!

Now you have learned the basics of Python to be able to play the magic! In this module, you are going to learn Python packages and experience their convenience and power. You are going to use the packages for something fun. Are you ready? Let's go!

Data Manipulation: Numpy and Pandas

In Data Science, we play with data. Python has many useful packages for data creation, integration, and manipulation. In this module, you are going to learn NumPy and Pandas, the most widely used two packages for data science. Are you ready? Let's go!

Data Visualization: Matplotlib

An outstanding data scientist is good at not only data processing and data analyzing but also data visualization and communication. In this module, you are going to learn Matplotlib, one of the most widely used Python package to transform your data in a much more interesting taste. Are you ready? Let's go!

Data Visualization: Seaborn

Data visualization can be done by matplotlib, and it is not enough. Seaborn is built upon matplotlib, and it provides even more power and convenience to the project. Are you ready? Let's go!
