Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas

Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas

 

"Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas" is a practical, beginner-friendly and coding-focused introduction to data analysis covering the basics of Python, Numpy, Pandas, data visualization and exploratory data analysis. This course runs over 6 weeks, with a 2-hour video lecture every week with live interactive coding using Jupyter notebooks. You can earn a verified certificate of accomplishment by completing weekly assignments and doing a course project.

The course is completely FREE of cost, and there are no fees for enrollment or certification. We're excited to offer this course in partnership with freeCodeCamp. All lectures will be live-streamed on YouTube and recordings will be available to watch later. Important Links:
