This course is part of the Meta Marketing Analytics Professional Certificate.

Syllabus

Introduction to Python
This week you will be introduced to Python and how it can be used in data analytics. You will learn basic programming principles such as variables and variable types using Python. You’ll also delve into basic Python statements such as Booleans and conditional statements.

Obtaining and Scrubbing Data with Pandas
This week is focused on using a Python library called Pandas. You will learn how to use Pandas to load, select, and clean data.

Exploring Data with Python
This week you will further explore and analyze datasets with Python. You will learn how to calculate basic statistics and create data visualizations with Pandas and Matplotlib, another Python library.

Modeling and Interpreting Data with Python
This week you will focus on modeling data with Python and interpreting the model results. You complete a data analytics challenge that applies the knowledge of Python and the application of the OSEMN framework you have gained throughout the course.
