The Data Science Institute is a four-day series of workshops that teaches participants the basic building blocks of coding in the fields of Biological, Physical, and Social Sciences, and Digital Humanities.

On January 7, from 8:30am to 12:15pm, Dr. Kang Pyo Lee will cover the basic elements in Python data analytics and offer hands-on practice. Topics include an introduction to data analytics and Python, Python basics for data analysis, and data preparation/exploration/visualization using widely used data analytics libraries in Python. Participants will also learn how to take advantage of an interactive web-based data analytics environment called Jupyter Notebook. No prior experience in Python is necessary for this class. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops.

Sessions are limited to 50 participants. Please register here, and you will be added to a wait list if the class is already full.

Please contact Fred Boehmke, Sai Ramadugu, or Elizabeth Menninga with questions.
