Chapter 1. The Python Data Science Stack

Note

Learning Objectives

We will start our journey by understanding the power of Python to manipulate and visualize data, creating useful analysis.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

Use all components of the Python data science stack
Manipulate data using pandas DataFrames
Create simple plots using pandas and Matplotlib

Note

In this chapter, we will learn how to use NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, IPython, Jupyter notebook. Later in the chapter, we will explore how the deployment of virtualenv, pyenv, works, soon after that we will plot basic visualization using Matplotlib and Seaborn libraries.
