NumPy & Pandas: Analyze & Transform Data

About this course

Build practical data analysis skills with NumPy and Pandas, two essential Python packages for numerical computing and data wrangling. Designed for beginners strengthening their foundations and professionals seeking greater efficiency, this course takes you step by step from core concepts to applied analysis. You’ll begin by exploring NumPy arrays, their memory and performance advantages over Python lists, and techniques for slicing, reshaping, concatenating, and calculating descriptive statistics. You’ll then use Pandas to create and combine DataFrames, perform joins, pivots, and unpivots, explore and sort data, and clean datasets by renaming, dropping, and restructuring variables. As you progress, you’ll apply grouping, aggregation, filtering, and conditional operations, while learning to detect, impute, and manage missing values. The course concludes with practical, end-to-end data analysis workflows that involve importing, exploring, and analyzing real-world datasets, including the Wine dataset. What sets this course apart is its structured progression from efficient numerical operations to hands-on data transformation. By the end, you’ll be able to turn raw datasets into organized, actionable insights using NumPy and Pandas—making this course a focused choice for building practical data analysis capabilities.
