Overview

We will be teaching the class about Pandas and NumPy, and how to use them effectively.

Subcategories:

  • How to read a file using Pandas
  • Implentation of statistics and data analysis using Pandas
  • Using pandas to change aspects of files
  • Using numpy to modify, scale, and edit images
  • Mathematics and complex calculations using numpy

Lesson Plan

  • We will implementy "popcorn hacks" during the lesson. This may consist of editing code or filling in the blanks.
  • We may ask students to note down what they notice and wonder after running each code cell. They will analyze code cells and jot down their findings in a markdown cell.

Hacks

  • Find a certain scenario, topic, or trend which has quantitative data. Store the data in a file and read it in Pandas. Show some analysis of the data (0.2)
  • Solve a 3x3 matrix using numpy (0.2)
  • Pick an image of your choice and scale it using different colors.
    • Use primary and secondary colors so you would have 6 differently colored images (0.3)

Grading

  • 0.2 for all the popcorn hacks completed and notes complete
  • 0.7 for all four hacks completed
  • 0.1 for going above and beyond in any category
