Python for Data Science

We will be using the FiveThirtyEight article about Puerto Rico and media attention

This orientation session will be tailored to doing some data analysis in Python using the pandas data science package. A really good blog post to step you through some more in-depth pandas learning is linked here. This tutorial is very distilled down.

Note, for analysis we will be using these date cutoffs:

• Hurricane Harvey makes landfall 8/25/17
• Hurricane Irma makes landfall 9/10/17
• Hurricane Maria makes landfall 9/20/17

We will use these datasets and step through some basic data cleaning, data manipulation, and data visualization using Python
