Abstract

Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. It has a set of powerful libraries for data analysis. It is a simple language for beginners to learn, though it is powerful enough for writing large applications. This 2-module course is an introduction to the Python programming language and data science. The average time to complete this course depends on student background. To complete the course, students are supposed to have mathematical skills at the high school level. Students’ academic performance is evaluated using programming assignments: homework and classwork. Also there is one mid-semester exam and final exam. The examples and problems used in this course cover such areas as text processing, HTML and data analytics. This course does not provide lectures and students must finish corresponding week of recommended online course before seminar class.
