Data Science: A First Introduction with Python

《數據科學：Python 的初步介紹》專注於使用 Python 程式語言在 Jupyter notebooks 中進行數據操作和清理，創建有效的視覺化，並利用分類、回歸、聚類和推斷從數據中提取見解。

Tiffany Timbers is an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of Statistics and Co-Director for the Master of Data Science program (Vancouver Option) at the University of British Columbia. In these roles she teaches and develops curriculum around the responsible application of Data Science to solve real-world problems. One of her favourite courses she teaches is a graduate course on collaborative software development, which focuses on teaching how to create R and Python packages using modern tools and workflows.

Trevor Campbell is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on automated, scalable Bayesian inference algorithms, Bayesian nonparametrics, streaming data, and Bayesian theory. He was previously a postdoctoral associate in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) at MIT and a Ph.D. candidate in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT.

Melissa Lee is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Statistics at the University of British Columbia. She teaches and develops curriculum for undergraduate statistics and data science courses. Her work focuses on student-centered approaches to teaching, developing and assessing open educational resources, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives.

Joel Ostblom is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Statistics Department at the University of British Columbia. He teaches and develops data science courses at the graduate and undergraduate level, with a focus on data visualization, data science ethics, and machine learning. Joel cares deeply about spreading data literacy and excitement over programmatic data analysis, which is reflected in his contributions to open source projects and openly accessible data science learning resources.

Lindsey Heagy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and Director of the Geophysical Inversion Facility at UBC. Her research combines computational methods in numerical simulations, inversions, and machine learning for using geophysical data to characterize the subsurface. Primary applications of interest include mineral exploration, carbon sequestration, groundwater, and environmental studies.
