Course Overview
This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including fundamental python programming techniques such as lambdas, reading and manipulating csv files, and the numpy library.
The course will introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the Series and DataFrame as the central data structures for data analysis, along with tutorials on how to use functions such as groupby, merge, and pivot tables effectively. By the end of this course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses.
This course should be taken before any of the other Applied Data Science with Python courses: Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, Applied Machine Learning in Python, Applied Text Mining in Python, Applied Social Network Analysis in Python.

- Querying a Series
- The DataFrame Data Structure
- DataFrame Indexing and Loading
- Querying a DataFrame
- Indexing Dataframes
- Missing Values
Module 3: More Data Processing with Pandas
In this module you’ll deepen your understanding of the python pandas library by learning how to merge DataFrames, generate summary tables, group data into logical pieces, and manipulate dates. We’ll also refresh your understanding of scales of data, and discuss issues with creating metrics for analysis
- Merging Dataframes
- Pandas Idioms
- Group by
- Scales
- Pivot Tables
- Date Functionality
Module 4: Answering Questions with Messy Data
In this module of the course, you’ll be introduced to a variety of statistical techniques such a distributions, sampling, and t-tests.
- Introduction
- Distributions
- More Distributions
- Hypothesis Testing in Python
