 # SIOC 209: Python for Data Analysis
 
+This course focuses on analyzing data of all types using the Python programming language. No programming experience is necessary.
+
+We start with an introduction (or refresher) to the command line. We then cover the fundamentals of Python and its data types, followed by the data analysis packages Numpy and Pandas, and plotting packages Matplotlib and Seaborn, plus statistics and interactive visualization.
+
+Jupyter (IPython) notebooks are used throughout. Conda is used for package management and virtual environments. All notebooks are in Python 3 unless otherwise noted.

 Nano is a text editor suited to working in UNIX. It is not as powerful as PC window-based editors, as it does not rely on the mouse, but still has many useful features.
 Most nano commands are invoked by holding down the `Ctrl` key (that is, the control key), and pressing one of the other keys. In this text, the control key is referred to using `^`. For example, `^X` means "hold down the control key and press the x key". Most of the important commands are listed at the bottom of your screen.
