Python for Data Analysis

This workshop will introduce you to some useful data analysis libraries in Python. Prior Python experience would be beneficial, but it is not mandatory.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to

• understand why Python is beneficial in data analysis
• how to use modules numpy, pandas, matplotlib
• understand how to debug your script in Python

Prerequisites: You need to have access to Python, either by installing Anaconda for Python 3 on your own computer or by using Jupyter Hub with Python 3 at the GIC. For the latter we will need to create an account for you first. The instructor will contact you at least one day in advance.

This workshop will be hosted online on Zoom and takes about 2.5 hours. Please use your McGill email address to register for the event. The instructor will be Hongyu Zhang.
