This course targets those who have an interest in becoming experts and completely mastering the pandas library for data analysis in a professional environment. This course does not cover all of the pandas library, just a small and fundamental portion of it. If you are looking for a brief introduction of the entire pandas library, this course is not it. It takes many dozens of hours, lots of practice, and rigorous understanding to be successful using pandas for data analysis in a professional environment.

Intro to Pandas is first in the Master Data Analysis with Python series which includes the following sequence of courses:

  • Intro to Pandas

  • Selecting Subsets of Data with Pandas

  • Essential Pandas Commands

  • Grouping Data with Pandas

  • Time Series with Pandas
