3 hours
This course introduces students to the process of transforming their ideas into simple but practical software through the study of a scripting language like Python. Students will learn to read and write data from various file formats, use basic data structures for data manipulation, and produce basic statistical information about the data. Programming skills will be developed through hands-on lab exercises, complemented by project-based assignments representative of current tasks in data science.
