Comprehensive Data Science With Python

Description

Comprehensive Data Science With Python

This Python programming data science training course teaches engineers, data scientists, statisticians, and other quantitative professionals the Python skills they need to use the Python programming language to analyze and chart data.

What is Python?

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.
