This laboratory introduces students to the fundamental concepts of Python programming and the basic tools used in data science. Students will gradually develop programming skills and learn how to work with structured data using Python, NumPy, and Pandas.
The laboratory begins with basic Python concepts, including variables, data types, conditional statements, loops, lists, and functions. Students will then learn how to create and manipulate numerical arrays using NumPy, read and process CSV files using Pandas, and perform basic data analysis.
Students will learn through short explanations, coding demonstrations, guided exercises, and homework assignments.
