Summer Bootcamp: Introduction to Python for Data Science
The Introduction to Python for Data Science bootcamp is designed for faculty from any field at WashU who are interested in developing programming skills for use in research, and aims to enable researchers to make use of new advances in digital and data-based methods in their field. Initial sessions will cover the foundational concepts of programming in Python (variables, conditionals, loops and functions), and later sessions will involve using the popular Pandas library for the management and preliminary analysis of data.
The course is designed for maximum accessibility – no background in any programming language or quantitative methods is required. This class will be fully in-person, and participants will use their own laptops.
Note: This bootcamp is limited to Wash U faculty.
