Data Wrangling and Analysis with Python

Course Overview

This course covers essential data wrangling techniques to clean, transform, and analyze real-world datasets using Python. Participants will work with libraries such as Pandas and NumPy to handle missing data, reshape datasets, and perform exploratory analysis. Practical exercises will focus on healthcare data, enabling students to extract meaningful insights and prepare data for advanced analytics. By the end, learners will be proficient in manipulating and analyzing structured data using Python.
