Pandas

About the Course

“Data is the new oil,” the saying goes. Which means that working with data is a key part of the modern economy. But what tools can you use to work with data?

For millions of people, Pandas is the answer: This Python library is built on top of NumPy, meaning that it combines the speed of C with the friendliness of Python. But Pandas goes way beyond NumPy, providing a wide variety of methods that make it easy to read, clean, analyze, plot, and write data in a large number of formats.

This course introduces you to Pandas, and to the many ways you can use it in your day-to-day work. You’ll learn how Pandas works, how to use such techniques as broadcasting and boolean indexing, how to read data from a variety of formats and then how to clean that data once you’ve read it into memory. And you’ll see how Pandas works not only with numbers, but also with text — allowing for all sorts of interesting analysis.

This is the same course that I give at Fortune 500 companies around the world, including a large number of exercises and the Jupyter notebooks I used when preparing the course.

If the world of data analysis interests you, then this course will get you going in relatively short order.
