How Our Pandas and NumPy Fundamentals Course Works

Python is one of the world’s leading coding languages. Libraries like NumPy and pandas are absolutely essential to using Python for data science. Since these libraries are used so widely across many industries and data science specializations, we’ve created this course to give you the skills you need to get hired faster.

However, be aware that this is an intermediate course and builds upon the concepts and techniques from our previous Python course.

With Dataquest, your success is our success. We believe that the best way to level up your data science career skills is to learn by doing. That’s why we’ll never make use of boring training videos or ineffective memorization. Starting on day one, you’ll learn NumPy and pandas fundamentals by solving real problems with real code.

Throughout this course, you’ll complete hands-on and interactive lessons designed to help you quickly and effectively build proficiency in data exploration, preparation, and analysis using NumPy and pandas. For the final lesson in the course, you’ll use real-world car sales data taken from eBay to complete a data cleaning and exploration project for your portfolio!

At Dataquest, we know the importance of a strong portfolio. After all, it’s one of the best ways to catch the attention of a hiring manager and get hired quickly. That’s why most of the courses here on Dataquest offer guided practice culminating in a portfolio project.

We want to help you build a data science portfolio that no hiring manager or potential employer can ignore! Additionally, when you sign up with Dataquest, you’ll join our vibrant and supportive community of students and data professionals. That way, you’ll never learn alone. And if you ever need a little extra help from powerful and responsive support tools, we’re only a click away.
