Applied Python for Data Science

Next-Level (Intermediate) Python for Data Science and /or Machine Learning is a five-day hands-on course designed for Python enthusiasts looking to expand their data science and machine learning skills. Whether you’re already familiar with Python basics or have dabbled in some coding, this course will take you further, focusing on practical applications of popular libraries like pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-Learn. By the end, you’ll be ready to tackle intermediate data science tasks with confidence.

You’ll start by diving deep into pandas, exploring its powerful DataFrame and Series structures to clean, filter, and manipulate data with ease. Then, you’ll shift gears into the world of NumPy, learning to perform efficient numerical computations, a crucial skill for any data scientist. The course also introduces you to text data processing and teaches you how to visualize your results with Matplotlib, making your data easy to understand and present.

In the final stretch, you’ll get hands-on with machine learning using Scikit-Learn. You’ll learn to build simple models, train them on data, and evaluate their performance, giving you a solid foundation in the machine learning workflow. This course offers a comprehensive and approachable way to level up your Python skills and apply them to real-world data science problems.
