Introduction to Data Analysis and Visualization with Python

The course provides an introduction to data analysis and visualization, including necessary introduction into programming in Python language. 

The key learning goal is that the students can apply basic tools of Python and some of its libraries for analyzing and visualizing quantitative data of their interest.

The course helps to understand how you can use specific Python tools and libraries like pandas and matplotlib to examine a dataset with summary statistics and graphs, and extract meaningful information. Students learn how to import, clean and prepare data before analysis, and how to visualize this data in an appropriate way to communicate results.
