Description
Welcome to the "Ultimate Beginners Guide to Pandas for Data Analysis" course, a comprehensive journey designed for beginners interested in exploring the Pandas library in the context of data analysis. This course has been carefully structured to provide a solid understanding of Pandas fundamentals and advanced techniques, empowering students to manipulate data with confidence and efficiency. Check out the modules and main topics below:
Section 1: Series
We start with Pandas installation and the creation of Series, the essential one-dimensional structure for storing data. Throughout the module, we explore fundamental concepts such as slicing, copying, accessing with iloc and loc, sorting, filtering, mathematical operations, and string manipulations. We also cover advanced topics, including numerical and categorical grouping, handling missing values, functions, and practical challenges.
Section 2: Dataframe
Continuing on, we delve into the creation and exploration of Dataframes, vital structures for analyzing more complex datasets. This module covers topics such as accessing with iloc and loc, manipulation of rows and columns, handling duplicate data and missing values, sorting, advanced filtering, creating and manipulating columns, aggregation, pivot tables, concatenation, joining, and import/export techniques. We include practical challenges to reinforce learning.
Section 3: Data Visualization
In the final module, we explore data visualization with Pandas. We cover the creation of line, bar, pie, scatter, and histogram plots, as well as formatting techniques and subplots. The module includes a practical challenge to apply the newly acquired skills in visualizing data.
Upon completing this course, participants will be equipped with the practical skills necessary to effectively use Pandas in data analysis. Get ready for an hands-on learning experience, empowering you to tackle real-world challenges in data manipulation and interpretation.

Instructors
Olá! Meu nome é Jones Granatyr e já trabalho em torno de 10 anos com Inteligência Artificial (IA), inclusive fiz o meu mestrado e doutorado nessa área. Atualmente sou professor, pesquisador e fundador do portal IA Expert, um site com conteúdo específico sobre Inteligência Artificial. Desde que iniciei na Udemy criei vários cursos sobre diversos assuntos de IA, como por exemplo: Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Data Science, Redes Neurais Artificiais, Algoritmos Genéticos, Detecção e Reconhecimento Facial, Algoritmos de Busca, Mineração de Textos, Buscas em Textos, Mineração de Regras de Associação, Sistemas Especialistas e Sistemas de Recomendação. Os cursos são abordados em diversas linguagens de programação (Python, R e Java) e com várias ferramentas/tecnologias (tensorflow, keras, pandas, sklearn, opencv, dlib, weka, nltk, por exemplo). Meu principal objetivo é desmistificar a área de IA e ajudar profissionais de TI a entenderem como essa tecnologia pode ser utilizada na prática e que possam visualizar novas oportunidades de negócios.
We are an on-line platform focused on courses on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science.
