Python Programming for Data Science

Catalog description

This course will cover programming constructs and features, data structures for data storage, such as sets, tuples, lists, dictionaries, trees and graphs, and algorithms for sorting, information retrieval from tree and graph data structures and search techniques such as binary tree search, depth and breadth depth first search of graphs. The programming language used is Python. Packages like pandas and numpy will also be presented. Assignments will focus on Python programming for natural language processing, machine learning, and data science applications. Students will design, write, test and run computer programs using Python and within an integrated development environment.
