The power of data science is enabling businesses to glean crucial insights from large pools of information. To explore, analyze, and manipulate this data quickly and accurately, data scientists require excellent knowledge of languages such as Python. With this knowledge, they can then develop one of the most sought-after skill sets.
In this course you will acquire key data analysis skills for predicting future trends using Python. You will explore how to import data sets, clean and prepare data for analysis, summarize data, and build data pipelines. You will use Pandas DataFrames, NumPy multidimensional arrays, and SciPy libraries to work with various datasets. You will load, manipulate, analyze, and visualize datasets, and build machine-learning models to make predictions with scikit-learn.
Learning to analyze data with Python is a critical competence for individuals keen to excel in the world of data science. This course will give you an excellent foundation in using Python for data science, and also enable you to take another step towards gaining an IBM Data Science Professional Certificate.
This course comprises six purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey. If you are thinking about taking the course separately, it is worth noting that it is part of the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate Program and you may want to consider enrolling for the whole program rather than just enrolling for one course at a time.
It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules or submitting assignments. To give you an idea of how long the course takes to complete, it is anticipated that if you work 2-4 hours per week, you will complete the course in 5 weeks. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community and mentors through the course discussion space.
The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.
As part of our mentoring service you will have access to valuable guidance and support throughout the course. We provide a dedicated discussion space where you can ask questions, chat with your peers, and resolve issues. Depending on the payment plan you have chosen, you may also have access to live classes and webinars, which are an excellent opportunity to discuss problems with your mentor and ask questions. Mentoring services may vary package wise.
You will be able to:
- Import data sets, clean and prepare data, and summarize data.
- Build data pipelines.
- Use Pandas DataFrames.
- Use Numpy multidimensional arrays.
- Use SciPy libraries.
- Load, manipulate, analzye, and visualize datasets with pandas.

FAQs
Python is a high-level, open-source programming language that provides an easy-to-use approach to object-oriented programming. It is one of the most widely used languages for machine learning, as well as data science and AI as a whole. It is employed in many different projects and applications. However, Python is often the go-to language to use for machine learning because it contains many features that are helpful for working with statistics, and scientific functions.
Python's prominence in the scientific and research disciplines is due to its simple syntax and ease of usage. It is easy to understand, especially for those without a background in engineering or computing, and it's also popular for quick prototyping
