Introduction

With so much information being collected through data analysis in the business world today, we
must have a way to paint a picture of that data so we can interpret it. Data visualization gives us
a clear idea of what the information means by giving it visual context through maps or
graphs. This makes the data more natural for the human mind to comprehend and therefore
makes it easier to identify trends, patterns, and outliers within large data sets. Data visualization
is used across all industries to increase sales with existing customers and target new markets and
demographics for potential customers.

Data scientists are always looking for better ways to communicate their findings through
captivating visualizations. Depending on their domain, the type of visualization varies, and often,
this means employing specific libraries and tools that will best suit the visualization needs. While
most languages have associated packages and libraries built specifically for visualization tasks,
Python is uniquely empowered to be a convenient tool for data visualization.

This course is designed to empower the student with the data visualization skill especially in
Python which will make him/her an asset for any organisation that he/she is a part of.

Objective
 To familiarize the students with the various data visualization tools
 To visualize various real- world data sets using various libraries from Python
 To equip managers with an effective analytical tool to visualize the datasets and prepare
dashboards to take effective decisions
