If you have a basic knowledge of Python programming, you'll learn how to work with data using industry-standard tools like pandas"--



Book Synopsis



As an aspiring data scientist, you appreciate why organizations rely on data for important decisions--whether it's for companies designing websites, cities deciding how to improve services, or scientists discovering how to stop the spread of disease.
