8. Information Visualization 8 Information visualization is increasingly getting its importance. A good visualization could provide more depth knowledge and intuition about data. Python provides a wonderful plotting library very similar to Matlab. Namely, matplotlib (pylab)

9. Why python plotting? 9 Excel is doing super good! My reasons to use Python for plotting Python to process data. No need to use a Mouse. Vector Graphics (not in matlab) Python code is reusable with minimum efforts. Variety in the type of graphs and annotations Vast support from open source community.

10. Basic Visualization 10 Provided Visualizations Line / Bar Graph Scatter Plot Box (Whisker) Plot The drawing ability is implemented in an external module.

11. Basic NumPy 11 NumPy is a library to provide matrix operations. NumPy is a versatile tool for many scientific problems. import numpy as np X = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 256, endpoint=True) (C, S) = (np.cos(X), np.sin(X))
