Build powerful Jupyter and Python workflows for data visualization, interactive computing, optimization, and scalable analysis.
Progress from professional plotting and advanced IPython to accelerated, parallel, and high-performance Python computing.
This Specialization develops practical skills for using Jupyter Notebook and Python across data science, analytics, research, and scientific computing workflows. You will begin by configuring Jupyter and IPython, executing and documenting code, and creating clear visualizations with Matplotlib and NumPy.
You will then create more sophisticated analytical graphics using annotations, multiple and logarithmic axes, date formatting, mathematical notation, contour plots, and image visualization. Alongside plotting, you will explore IPython widgets, HTML and JavaScript integration, magic commands, kernels, configurations, and testing workflows.
Finally, you will profile and optimize Python code, work efficiently with large NumPy datasets, and accelerate applications using Numba, Cython, and C integration. You will also explore asynchronous, parallel, distributed, and cluster computing along with Seaborn, D3.js, and Julia-based numerical workflows.
By completion, you will be able to build clearer visual analyses, improve notebook productivity, optimize computational performance, and develop scalable Python workflows for demanding data-driven applications.
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
Learners will complete hands-on projects that combine Jupyter Notebook, IPython, visualization, and Python performance optimization. They will create analytical plots, build interactive notebook workflows, profile and accelerate Python code, and apply parallel computing techniques to solve realistic data analysis and computational performance challenges.
