Week #8 - MKTG 4396 - Data Toolkit (Chapter 1 & 2)
For my last post, I have decided to read and cover Chapters 1 & 2 from one of the D.A.T.A. series books: Data Toolkit: Python + Hands-On Math. Chapter 1 covers some of the basics of Python as well as why it is used in data science. There were also hands-on exercises at the end of each chapter that I wanted to do as well. The exercises were meant to be done in Google Colab, however, I already have and use my own IDE so I decided to do them there instead. The hands-on exercises that were at the end of Chapter 1 covered some very basic things like printing "Hello World", which is generally the first thing anyone will have you do when starting to learn Python. The other hands-on exercise was an introduction to variables which is an important basic principle that anyone interested in Python needs to understand. Below are my results from the first two hands-on activities. Hello World: Variables: The second chapter is a little bit more complex but still deals with Python basics...
