Introduction to Python

About

Python is a versatile, multi-purpose, open-source programming language which has become one of the top choices for data engineering and advanced analytics. Due to its interactive nature and easy syntax Python is increasingly used in academia, business, and even journalism. The purpose of this course is to provide a gentle introduction to Python with a focus on its data analysis capabilities.
This course is aimed at participants who would like an overview of/introduction to data manipulation and statistical analysis in Python. It can also serve as an overview/refresher of the basics of Python programming. In the class, we will focus on understanding the core Python objects and getting hands-on experience with the main aspects of data analysis for social scientists.
