Description

Analytics Programming, designed as a practical introduction to data analytics in a business context. Aimed at students with minimal programming experience, this course focuses on Python programming and its Pandas library as primary tools for data manipulation and analysis. The course is not merely a technical tutorial but an application-oriented guide. You'll learn how to define business problems clearly, ask insightful questions, and then use Python and Pandas to uncover answers. We will start with Python fundamentals and move on to more complex data manipulation and visualization techniques using Pandas. Throughout the course, you'll engage in hands-on mini-projects that simulate real-world business scenarios, culminating in a team-based final project. This final project serves as both a capstone experience and a portfolio piece, demonstrating your newfound analytical skills in a real-world context. By the end of this course, you'll have both the technical skills and the strategic mindset to apply data analytics effectively in any business environment.
