Getting started with Python for Data Science¶
This is an hour long session to introduce you to Python, we have some specific aims in mind:
Using Python with Numpy, Pandas etc to work with data
Motivating you to contribute to Open source libraries in Python, especially the ones related to Machine Learning / Data Science
This event is a part of a larger series of PyMC - Data Umbrella events, which are aimed at helping you contribute to PyMC (Open source library for Probabilistic Programming in Python)
