    For Data Science

    Structure
    • Part 1 - Introduction, recap & warm-up exercises
    • Part 2 - NumPy (Numerical Python)
    • Part 3 - Basic plotting
    • Part 4 - pandas (Python Data Analysis Library)
    Ask!
    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
    - Thomas Berger

    • Do not hesitate to ask!


    • During exercises (you can also ask others).

    Now let me ask something..
    • Why do you want to learn Python/programming?
    • What would you use Python for?
    Failure
    • Coding is all about trial and error.
    • Don't be afraid of it.
    • Error messages aren't scary, they are useful.

    • Now widely spread


    • Open Source! Free!
    • Versatile
    Python today
    • Developed a large and active scientific computing and data analysis
    community
    • Now one of the most important languages for
    • Data science
    • Machine learning
    • General software development
    • Packages: NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, SciPy, scikit-learn, statsmodels
    2 Modes
    1. IPython
    Python can be run interactively
    Used extensively in research

    2.   Python scripts


    What if we want to run more than a few lines of code?
    Then we must write text files in .py
    Noteable (Jupyter notebooks)
    • Easy to use environment
    • Web-based
    • Combines both text and code
    into one
    • Come with a great number of
    useful packages
    1. Start Noteable
    2. Clone GitRepo(recommended)
    3. Starting a notebook
    4. Toolbar

    Stop
    Save Cut, copy execution Block type
    paste
    New block Move block Reset block
    And clear output
    5. Download files
    6. Kernel/Restart & Clear output 
    7. Edit/Delete Cell 
    8. File/ Close & Halt
    9. Create a folder                          10.Rename
    11. Upload files
    Running blocks
    • By pressing the Run button
    • Shift + Enter – runs block
    • Alt + Enter – creates a new block
    Other operations
    • File/Save and Checkpoint
    • File/Revert to Checkpoint 
    • Tab completion
    • Introspection
    Let us start
    To follow along, you need to open your own notebook. But please try to
    keep up with my presentation, as you still have time for exercises during
    the teaching.
    Thank you for attending!
    • You can continue to access the ‘Python for Data Science’ Learn course
    and notebooks after the course.
    • There are solution notebooks for all the topics we have covered today,
    plus notebooks covering additional topics (text analysis, signal
    processing, regular expressions, network analysis, machine learning &
    Conway’s game of life).
