Chapter 12: Using Python in Experimental and Data Analysis Problems

In this chapter, we will take a look at how Python can help us understand and analyze data using algorithms and libraries created specifically for data analysis and data science. We will first go through experimental data and then move on to algorithms that use two main libraries: NumPy and pandas.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Defining experimental data
  • Using data libraries in Python
  • Understanding data analysis with Python
  • Using additional libraries for plotting and analysis

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to define types of experiments, data gathering, and how computational thinking helps when designing models and solutions. You will ...
