Abstract

This is an introductory course on programming in Python, one of the most popular data-centric programming languages widely used across industries and in the academic environment. The increased demand for decision making based on insights from data results in an increased demand for qualified experts with a strong data analysis skillset. With this in mind, starting from language fundamentals, we will concentrate on practical approaches to solving basic problems, from collecting and importing data to generating reports. The main goal of the course is to provide the students with programming toolbox, form competence in basic Python as well as data-related Python libraries, and also prepare the students for studying more advanced topics and conducting rigorous empirical analyses on their own.
