About the Course

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....

overall the good introductory course of python for data science but i feel it should have covered the basics in more details .specially for the ones who do not have any prior programming background .

I thought this was course was good, and was fairly challenging for an online-only course. I thought the lectures could have been a little longer to ensure proper coverage of materials and functions.

Great crash course, strong community. Amenable to self study, as the community is very helpful for when you get stuck.

有很多编程作业都是干货,能学到很多知识。比中国的编程课受用多了,在中国要学完python入门课要花一学期大概是四个月的时间,而在Coursera上只需要四周,这是我第一次使用Coursera,我想我会继续使用的,感谢!最后,希望通过课程~

A lot of knowledge, sometimes too dense. Treats you like an adult and encourages you to look on your own. Very useful.

Very condensed and practical. Good fit for the ones who already have some experience in DS using other tools (like R).
