Are you aware that websites like Instagram, Spotify, and Pinterest use Python Programming in to make their sites? Will you create the next Instagram with your newfound expertise in Python? Python Programming is a widely used language that anyone can use and get good with, and also a super concise language that you can create nearly anything with. Mac, Linux, UNIX, and others have Python installed as a default setting since it is an open source and free language. After you read this book, you will fluent in this versatile code language and see it applied to a variety of examples now with pictures! As stated, you can use the language to create everything you want; a website, make a game, or even create a search engine. The big plus of using Python is, an explicit compiler is not necessary since it’s an entirely interpreted language like Perl, Shell, and others.

Introduction to Python Programming is written for students who are beginners in the field of computer programming. This book presents an intuitive approach to the concepts of Python Programming for students. This book differs from traditional texts not only in its philosophy but also in its overall focus, level of activities, development of topics, and attention to programming details. The contents of the book are chosen with utmost care after analyzing the syllabus for Python course prescribed by various top universities in USA, Europe, and Asia. Since the prerequisite know-how varies significantly from student to student, the book’s overall overture addresses the challenges of teaching and learning of students which is fine-tuned by the authors’ experience with large sections of students. This book uses natural language expressions instead of the traditional shortened words of the programming world. This book has been written with the goal to provide students with a textbook that can be easily understood and to make a connection between what students are learning and how they may apply that knowledge.

Regression is the process of learning relationships between inputs and continuous outputs from example data, which enables predictions for novel inputs. There are many kinds of regression algorithms, and the aim of this book is to explain which is the right one to use for each set of problems and how to prepare real-world data for it. With this book you will learn to define a simple regression problem and evaluate its performance. The book will help you understand how to properly parse a dataset, clean it, and create an output matrix optimally built for regression. You will begin with a simple regression algorithm to solve some data science problems and then progress to more complex algorithms. The book will enable you to use regression models to predict outcomes and take critical business decisions. Through the book, you will gain knowledge to use Python for building fast better linear models and to apply the results in Python or in any computer language you prefer.
