Because data grows exponentially and becomes complex, we need computational methods to collect, store, and analyze them in order to be successful in science, engineering, business, and other professions. Python Programming, is an introductory programming class that meets this need. You will learn how to write computer programs in Python language to solve real-world problems. This class is designed for students that want to learn to computer programming for data science. This course guides students through the basic Python programming language, from initial concepts to final data analysis using python and external packages.
