Python is one of the most widely-used programming languages among data scientists. This course will show you the technical advantages it has over other programming languages. You will start working with its modules for scientific computing, and you will begin to understand why these functionalities make Python the preferred choice in finance, econometrics, economics, data science, and machine learning.
In this section, we will introduce you to the concept of programming and will talk about some of Python’s key features (it is an open-source, general-purpose, high-level language). We will show you how to install the Jupyter Notebook (the environment we will use to code in Python) and will introduce you to its interface and dashboard.
