Course Description:

The course will provide a gentle introduction to Python for statistical modeling.  Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages, and is commonly used by major companies for web development purposes. Google has used it for much of their web spider and search engine code, Yahoo built their "Groups" and "Maps" features with it, and the Central Intelligence Agency built their entire website with it. In addition to web development, Python can be found in commercial games, business software, educational applications, animation systems and many other different types of software.
