Book Description
Data science is the process of representing models that fit data. Its goal is to predict future output based on past observations of inputs. In data science, one collects information and interprets it to make decisions.
This open book contains two parts, the first is designed to be used in an introductory programming course for students looking to learn Python, without having any prior experience with programming. Basic programming concepts are discussed, explained, and illustrated with a Python program. Ample programming questions are provided for practice. The second part of the book utilizes machine-learning concepts and statistics to accomplish data-driven resolutions. Python programs are provided to apply scientific computing to conclude statistically driven results.
Python is a popular programming language because of its scalability, readability, and strong community support. But perhaps the most important aspect is its extensive libraries and frameworks.
