In this Activity Pack, you will be given an introduction on how to use Python and Jupyter Notebooks—Python is the computer language and Jupyter is the platform where we will be running Python. This language and platform combination will be used for IFQ619: Data Analytics for Strategic Decision Makers. You will also be using Python in IFQ509: Data Exploration and Mining. With Jupyter and Python together you can create code, equations, visualisations and narrative text to do things such as statistical modelling, data visualisation, machine learning and so much more. Learning Python is a great way to expand your data analysis career. These materials have been curated or created by your Lead Unit Coordinators (LUCs) to make sure you have the core skills necessary to begin your studies in these units. Learning objectives By the end of this page, you should be able to: recognise what Python and Jupyter Hub are used for at an introductory level feel confident in beginning to use Python and Jupyter Hub for your units. Now, let's begin! What is Python? Python is a programming language that can be used for a variety of purposes including: to create web applications in cybersecurity (penetration testing) for data science and analytics (using imported libraries) alongside software to create workflows to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.

This doesn't mean it will be necessarily easy to learn for those who speak English , rather structurally it has commonalities with English. But don't worry, there's no expectation for you to have a high degree of Python understanding for success in your QUT Online courses. Think of Python as the 'enabler' for these units. In Data Analytics/Science, we mostly use a version of Python that is called iPython which is short for "Interactive Python" because it works in browsers and with Jupyter Notebooks. If you'd like to know more about Python and how it can be used, check out the following short video: What is Python? Why Python is so popular? (2018) <https://bit.ly/3J452X7> What is Python?
