And try your hand at your own solutions to a variety of medium-scale projects.

Keep this handy quick guide at your side whether you’re a student, an entry-level data science professional converting from R to Python, or a seasoned Python developer who doesn’t want to memorize every function and option.


Data Science Essentials in Python provides deep insights and the right set of tools and techniques to start with. Well-drafted examples and exercises make it practical and highly readable.”
