Publisher's Synopsis
Interested in starting Data analysis and not sure which Programming language to use to develop Data Analysis Programs? Are you a beginner and would like to learn Python in order to develop the necessary skills for data analysis and note sure where to start?
Do you have data and want to analyze and provide professional figures for your presentation and communication and don't know which programming language to use or interested in using Python?
This book is intended to address all these questions. In fact, the aim of this book is providing the absolute beginners or other programmers that has no experience with Python programming the basic and fundamental tools of the Python language.
This book provides not only the basic syntax of Python but also an advanced command to evaluate the performance of your code in interactive programming environment (i.e. Jupyter) and a guide to use the fundamentals Python libraries for data analysis which are Pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib libraries. All these libraries are presented with examples with real data so you can practice at the same time when learning the functionalities of this library.
By reading this book, you will learn:
- The characteristics and utilities of using Python over other programming languages
- How to get started and install Python
- The basic syntax of Python programming and different basic data structures in Python
- How to develop modules and functions in Python
- How to install and use magic command in Ipython
- Functionalities of NumPy library for numerical programming
- Functionalities of Pandas library for data analysis
- Creating and customizing figures to visualize data with Matplotlib library
Even if don't have any background or skills in programming, this book will provide you and help you develop the required skills and basic technics to start data analysis with Python programming. It also provides you with code and data so you can practice. By reading this book will easily learn how to use python and Python libraries for easy data analysis and management. By developing the skills provided in this book, you will easily develop more advanced skills and acquire advanced technics that will allow to go from a beginner to an expert in Python.
