Description

Caitlin McGlade and Sahana Jayaraman will guide you through using Python to find stories in data. We will use Jupyter Notebooks to execute commands, a popular opensource tool commonly used to explore data tables and organize code.

You’ll learn:

• How to pull data from both a CSV saved locally on your computer and directly from a website
• How to find “the most” or “the least” by sorting
• How to isolate or exclude variables with filtering
• How to compare variables with groupbys
• How to merge datasets

This session would be good for people who have crunched numbers in Excel, or understand the concept of filtering, sorting and pivot tables /groupbys through other programs, and want to start analyzing data with Python so their work is more easily reproducible. Also for those who have tried a little Python before and couldn’t get the hang of it but want to keep trying.

Preregistration is required and seating is limited.
