Lesson one: Basics of Python

Welcome to Lesson 1! We are excited for you to begin learning Python, and we have created this course with the intention that you can build upon your knowledge of coding for statistics. Our teaching materials are designed to introduce you to some of the functions and libraries that are commonly used in Python for exploratory data analysis and statistical inference. Please check out the rest of our website to find extra learning materials, our tutorials, and to learn more about the purpose of our project!
