Free Online Course from Edx: Analyzing Data with Python

edX platform is offering a free online course entitled "Analyzing Data with Python". This course includes information on data analysis using NumPy arrays, manipulate DataFrames in pandas, use the SciPy library of mathematical routines, and perform machine learning using scikit-learn.

About This Course:

This course will take you from the basics of Python to exploring many different types of data. You will learn how to prepare data for analysis, perform simple statistical analyses, create meaningful data visualizations, predict future trends from data. You will learn to use Pandas DataFrames, Numpy multi-dimensional arrays, and SciPy libraries to work with various datasets. The course will introduce you to pandas, an open-source library, and you will use it to load, manipulate, analyze, and visualize cool datasets. Then the course will introduce you to another open-source library, scikit-learn.
