An Introduction to Data Science

This project is an introductory workshop in Data Science in the programming language Python . To learn about Python and programming in detail, this introductory course is recommended.

Table of Contents

Objective

The main goal is to show students how Python can be used to solve typical data science tasks.

Prerequisites

To be suitable for beginners, there are no formal prerequisites. It is only expected that the student has:

  • a solid understanding of the English language and
  • knowledge of basic mathematics from high school.

Getting started & Installation

To follow this workshop, an installation of Python 3.8 or higher is expected.

A popular and beginner friendly way is to install the Anaconda Distribution that not only ships Python itself but also comes pre-packaged with a lot of third-party libraries including Python's scientific stack.

Detailed instructions can be found here .

Contributing

Feedback is highly encouraged and will be incorporated. Open an issue in the issues tracker or initiate a pull request if you are familiar with the concept. Simple issues that anyone can help fix are, for example, spelling mistakes or broken links. If you feel that some topic is missing entirely, you may also mention that. The materials here are considered a permanent work-in-progress.
