Python being widely used in Data Analytics & Machine Learning Pandas dataframes visualizations and regular expressions are covered in detail with examples. Every chapter includes illustrations with examples worked-out problems multiple choice questions for knowledge testing and exercise problems for practice. The book is supported by a solution manual to multiple-choice questions and exercise problems. The aim and scope of the book are to provide the required knowledge and skill in coding. The book serves as the basis for developing Machine learning applications.
