Assignment 1: Python Libraries for Data Science

NumPy

1. What is NumPy, and why is it essential for numerical computations in Python?

NumPy (Numerical Python) is a powerful Python library used for numerical computing. It provides:

- A high-performance multidimensional array object (ndarray)

- Mathematical functions to operate on arrays

- Tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code

Importance:

- It supports vectorized operations, making code faster.

- It forms the foundation for many other libraries like Pandas, SciPy, and scikit-learn.

2. Create a 3x3 NumPy array filled with random integers between 1 and 10.

import numpy as np

array = np.random.randint(1, 11, (3, 3))

array.sum(), array.mean(), array.std()

3. Reshape the array into a 1x9 vector.

vector = array.reshape(1, 9)

SciPy

1. Discuss the main modules of SciPy and their applications.

SciPy modules include:

- scipy.integrate: Integration routines

- scipy.optimize: Optimization algorithms


- scipy.linalg: Linear algebra operations

- scipy.signal: Signal processing

- scipy.stats: Statistical functions

- scipy.fft: Fast Fourier Transforms

2. Use scipy.optimize to find the minimum of f(x) = x² + 5x + 6.

from scipy.optimize import minimize

f = lambda x: x**2 + 5*x + 6

minimize(f, x0=0)

3. Plot the function using Matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(-10, 5, 100)

y = f(x)

plt.plot(x, y)

Pandas

1. What are the two primary data structures in Pandas?

- Series: 1D labeled array.

- DataFrame: 2D labeled table.

2. Load a CSV (or create DataFrame) with Name, Age, Salary.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'Name':['A','B'],'Age':[25,30],'Salary':[60000,45000]})

3. Filter rows where Salary > 50000.

df[df['Salary'] > 50000]


4. Group the data by Age and calculate the average salary.

df.groupby('Age')['Salary'].mean()

5. Handle missing values.

df.fillna(value), df.dropna()

Matplotlib

1. Key features of Matplotlib

- Line, bar, pie charts

- Labels, titles, legends

- Subplots and gridlines

2. Generate a line plot for population growth.

years = np.arange(2015, 2025)

population = [10000, 11000, ..., 30000]

plt.plot(years, population)

3. Create a figure with bar and pie chart.

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2)

axs[0].bar(...)

axs[1].pie(...)
