Main Python libraries for data science
Panda library introduction
• Pandas is useful for its fast data cleansing preparation, powerful analysis
capabilities, ease of use for data visualization, ease of use for machine
learning
• its compatibility with NumPy array and matrices.
• It is built on top of NumPy.
• Arrays and matrices are called series and DataFrames in pandas.

Indexing in pandas
• An index is a list of integers or labels you use to uniquely identify rows
and columns.
We use
• A set of square-brackets […..]
• The .loc[] indexer
Introducing the pandas library
• A DataFrame object is pretty much a
spreadsheet of rows and columns
• the rows and columns individually are
actually series objects in the pandas
library
• DataFrames are indexable.
• A series object is a single row or
column and it is always indexed
Comparison operators in pandas
Code demonstration
• Introduce Jupyter notebook
• Plain indexing
• Data slicing
• Arithmetic comparisons
