Python for data analytics

During this intensive 3-day training with ABIS, we will learn how to collect, process, analyse, and visualise data with Python. We will work with specialised packages such as Pandas, Numpy, and Matplotlib.

In recent years, the importance of data analytics and data science in the professional world has increased significantly. At the same time, we have observed that Python has taken a leading role as a programming language in this field. Today, it is perhaps the most essential tool for data analysis in science and the business world. Python’s strengths as a general-purpose programming language, combined with specialised libraries like Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, make it an excellent tool for exploring, analysing, and visualising various types of data.

In this course we will learn:

 

  • How to import data from various sources into a Python environment;

  • How to process and prepare data for analysis;

  • How to analyse data using Numpy and Pandas;

  • How to visualise the results of our analysis.
