Introductory PYTHON for Data Science with Exercises and Quiz

The new gold is data. This statement demonstrates how data capture, storage, and analysis are at the heart of every modern IT system. It doesn’t matter if you’re making a business choice, forecasting the weather, investigating protein structures in biology, or creating a marketing strategy. All of these scenarios call for a multidisciplinary approach that includes the use of mathematical models, statistics, graphs, databases, and, of course, the commercial or scientific rationale that underpins the data analysis. As a result, we need a programming language that can handle all of these different data science requirements. Python stands out as one of these languages since it comes with a plethora of libraries and built-in capabilities that make it simple to meet the demands of data research.
