Talk given August 17, 2017 RMACC 2017 SymposiumUniversity of Colorado / Boulder

Hacking Python? Need to import some Excel data and run a detailed data analysis? Got Pandas? Pandas has become a staple in the Python data science stack with strengths in data manipulation and analysis. In this workshop, we will focus on real-world data analysis scenarios that show the strengths of this library. We’ll cover basic Pandas data structures, core import/export and I/O functionality, manipulation of data in Pandas and the basics of Pandas data visualization. We will focus on the practical so that you can leave ready to apply your skills. We assume a basic working knowledge of Python and exposure to Jupyter Notebooks.
