A Beginner’s Guide to Python for Data Analysis

Python is a powerful, easy-to-learn programming language widely used for data analysis. Its clean syntax
- Open-source and free
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Extensive data libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib)

Whether you're analyzing climate data or customer sales, Python simplifies data wrangling and visualizati

First, install Python and Jupyter Notebook via Anaconda. Then, start a new notebook and run this code:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')
print(df.head())

You'll be able to:


- Load and inspect datasets
- Perform simple descriptive analysis (df.describe())
- Create visualizations with Matplotlib or Seaborn

Common data operations:


df['new_column'] = df['old_column'] * 2
df.dropna(inplace=True)

Suppose you have air quality data. You can analyze pollutant levels over time:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
plt.plot(df['Date'], df['PM2.5'])
plt.title('PM2.5 Trend Over Time')
plt.show()

With Python, you can clean, process, visualize, and model data, all in one environment. As you advance,
