Data analysis is a rigorous discipline that can reveal illuminating insights, but a strong grasp of the fundamentals is essential to generating accurate, useful results. This hands-on course will teach you the industry-standard framework for analyzing data of any kind, and show you how to apply it using some of the most popular tools in data science.
Prerequisite knowledge
1. Anaconda
  Learn to use Anaconda to manage packages and environments for use with Python.
2. Jupyter Notebooks
  Learn to use this open-source web application to combine explanatory text, math equations, code and visualizations in one sharable document.
3. Data Analysis Process
  Learn about the keys steps of the data analysis process and investigate multiple datasets using Python and Pandas.
4. Pandas and NumPy: Case Study
  Perform the entire data analysis process on a dataset and learn to use NumPy and Pandas to wrangle, explore, analyze and visualize data.
5. Programming Workflow for Data Analysis
  Learn about how to carry out analysis outside Jupyter notebook using IPython or the command line interface.
6. Course Project: Investigate a Dataset
  In this project, you’ll choose one of Udacity’s curated datasets and investigate it using NumPy and pandas. You’ll complete the entire data analysis process, starting by posing a question and finishing by sharing your findings.

Introducing new Udacity Single Courses

Our students asked and we listened. You can now get the in-demand tech skills you need faster and for less money by enrolling in one of our new, one-month Single Courses. You’ll get the specific job-ready skills you need in as little as four weeks and for a fraction of the cost.
