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....

The assessments, quizzes, and course coverage are quite good. The main points are covered, although it does not cover everything. Additionally, it provides opportunities to learn and conduct research.

The course had helped in understanding the concepts of NumPy and pandas. The assignments were so helpful to apply these concepts which provide an in-depth understanding of the Numpy as well as pandans

Very challenging course. And I thought I knew Python.

I learned much, much more about Pandas, idioms, lambdas, regex, etc. I will be able to be more productive at work with all this. Thanks.

I found it pretty challenging as it encourages us to find ways to solve the assignments by our own. I really enjoyed the moment when I finally passed the last assignment Hahaha. Nice course

I have learnt alot from this course. I have previously taken a few courses but I always got stuck at some point. Course outline is good and Assignments were a great help in moving forward.

très bien, prévoir l’organisation avec du temps pour les épreuves de certification (3 ième semaine surtout peut prendre une dizaine d’heures de travail et recherche selon le niveau python)

Great course! Strongly recommended to everyone who is interested in learning practical details of data manipulation. I really learned a lot through the course and Stack Overflow questions.

Assignments are tough, But there won't be much learning if the assignements were easy. The discussion forum helped me a lot, and teaching staffs were always available to answer my queries.

Good course. It provides a good balance between applying what you learned in the lectures vs what you would normally do in real life by finding answers to your questions in stackoverflow.

Assignments design so to require a lot of self study. But really worth it. It doesnt cover all the basic features of pandas but give you a very good view on what the library is capble of.

Very well-designed and balanced in terms of the course load and material selection. I just want to suggest adding more tailored tips and feedback after completing the material each week.

course content is excellent but the content needs to be improved and needs to be little detailed because the Assignments are little difficult to complete with the provided course lecture

Challenging, awesome. Working through the assignments will really teach you Pandas, which makes Python scripts much more efficient. I'm already using the things I have learned at work.

This is a very good course for beginners who has no background of Data Science. I completed it one and a half years ago. Now i am revising it again and i find it even more interesting.

This is my first completed course in data science. I think this is a good course to start with. The assignments are not trivial and need some exploration, which helps me to learn more.

So useful, learn the course through programming assignment, you need to do a lot of self-study and google, not just restrict within the course material, this is the way I love to study

Very Nice, it explains pandas from the basics.

I would just wish that u would have an autograder like the one in Python for everbody course by Dr.Chuck

This one is a little bit annoying

Amazing Specialization learned a lot and i could test my knowledge , i guess it's more than an introduction to data science ! And i loved the assignments despite their difficulty :)
