This module covers the tools and structures at the heart of Python data science: Jupyter notebooks as your working environment, Python’s built-in data structures, and the package ecosystem that powers everything else. By the end of Week 2, you’ll be comfortable importing libraries, working with collections of data, and understanding how Python packages fit together.
