Lab description

Python knowledge builds a solid foundation for data scientists to build upon. This Lab provides you with a Jupyter notebook that introduces you to basic concepts in Python. By using a Jupyter notebook you are able to read about the concepts and run Python code within the same document. The notebook also includes exercises for you to practice applying the concepts that you study on your own. Completion of this Lab will give you the ability to read and write basic Python code.
