Book Description

With 200 pages of data analysis and numerical computing tutorials at your disposal this completely free title offers you the chance to discover how to make the most of IPython right now. Discover why Python is so loved in the data world and revolutionize your work today!

This book is a beginner-friendly guide to the Python data analysis platform. After an introduction to the Python language, IPython, and the Jupyter Notebook, you will learn how to analyze and visualize data on real-world examples, how to create graphical user interfaces for image processing in the Notebook, and how to perform fast numerical computations for scientific simulations with NumPy, Numba, Cython, and ipyparallel. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform in-depth analyses of all sorts of data.

• Learn the basics of Python in the Jupyter Notebook
• Analyze and visualize data with pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, and seaborn
• Perform highly-efficient numerical computations with Numba, Cython, and ipyparallel

• Cyrille Rossant is a researcher in neuroinformatics, and is a graduate of Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, where he studied mathematics and computer science. He has worked at Princeton University, University College London, and College de France. As part of his data science and software engineering projects, he gained experience in machine learning, high-performance computing, parallel computing, and big data visualization. He is one of the main developers of VisPy, a high-performance visualization package in Python. He is the author of the IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook, Packt Publishing, an advanced-level guide to data science and numerical computing with Python, and the sequel of this book.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (Albert Sweigart)

  Learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand - no prior programming experience required. You'll create Python programs that effortlessly perform useful and impressive feats of automation.

• Problem Solving with Algorithms/Data Structures using Python

  This is a textbook about computer science. It is also about Python. However, there is much more. The tools and techniques that you learn here will be applied over and over as you continue your study of computer science.

• Fundamentals of Python Programming (Richard L. Halterman)

  It focuses on introducing programming techniques and developing good habits. To that end, our approach avoids some of the more esoteric features of Python and concentrates on the programming basics that transfer directly to other imperative programming.

• O'Reilly® Think Python, 2nd Edition (Allen B. Downey)

  This hands-on guide takes you through the Python programming language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. 2nd edition updated for Python 3.

• Functional Programming in Python (David Mertz)

  It describes ways to avoid Python’s imperative-style flow control, the nuances of callable functions, how to work lazily with iterators, and the use of higher-order functions. He also lists several third-party Python libraries useful for functional programming.

• Python 3 Patterns, Recipes and Idioms (Bruce Eckel, et al)

  This book is aimed at more experienced Python programmers who are looking to deepen their understanding of the language and modern programming idioms. It focuses on some of the more advanced techniques used by libraries, frameworks, and applications.

• O'Reilly® Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools

  Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools.

• Modeling and Simulation in Python (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to physical modeling using a computational approach with Python. You will learn how to use Python to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; etc.

• Introduction to Scientific Programming with Python

  This book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, assuming little or no prior experience in programming.

• Programming for Computations - Python 3 Edition

  This book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills that allows students to write simple programs for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in the context.

• Computational Physics with Python (Eric Ayars)

  This book provides an unusually broad survey of the topics of modern computational physics. Its philosophy is rooted in learning by doing, with new scientific materials as well as with the Python programming language.

• Python Design Patterns (Brandon Rhodes)

  Understand the structural, creational, and behavioral Python design patterns - this book will help you learn the core concepts of design patterns and the way they can be used to resolve software design problems using Python.

• O'Reilly® 20 Python Libraries You Aren't Using (But Should)

  This book helps you explore some of the lesser known Python libraries and tools, including third-party modules and several extremely useful tools in the standard library that deserve more attention.
