Python intro

Course Overview

This course will introduce you to the field of Data Science using the industry standard: the Python programming language. We will cover key steps involved in solving practical problems with data, from access and manipulation, to processing and visualisation. These topics will be explored from a “hands-on” perspective using a modern Python stack (e.g. pandas, matplotlib), and examples using real-world data. We will start with an overview of the main ways to access and manipulate data in Python. Then we will move on to visualisation, learning to create figures that allow you to better understand your data. We will finish the course with some time for questions and to work on your own data.
