• Operators in Python (e.g., Arithmetic, Logical, Bitwise)
• Strings in Python
• Lists
• Tuples
• Sets
• Dictionaries
• Python conditional statements (e.g., if, if-else, if-elif-else)
• Loops in Python (e.g., while, for, break, continue)
• Getting Started with HackerRank use cases and working on them
• List and Dictionaries comprehension
• Functions
• Anonymous Functions (Lambda)
• Generators
• Modules
• Exceptions and Error Handling
• Classes and Objects (OOPS) (including different types of methods, inheritance, polymorphism, operator overloading, overriding)
• Date and Time
• Regex (e.g., re.search(), re.compile(), re.find(), re.split())
• Files (including opening, closing, reading and writing files)
• APIs the Unsung Hero of the Connected World
• Python for Web Development – Flask
• Hands-On Projects (Web Scraping, Sending Automated Emails, Building a Virtual Assistant)

Module 2. Data Analysis

Data analysis helps you in making informed decisions with data exploration and visualization using advanced tools. This section will cover the basics along with teaching you how to scrape data from websites using libraries like BeautifulSoup and handling and storing them in appropriate formats. 

• Packages (Working on Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib)
• Web Scraping (learning about tools, libraries and ethical considerations)
• Exploratory data analysis (EDA) using Pandas and NumPy
• Data Visualization using Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly
• Database Access
• Tableau
• Power BI

Module 3. Statistics

The specific topics covered in the statistics section give you an overview of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics that provide the foundation for understanding and analyzing complex data. Explore the statistical foundations for data signs from this section and apply them to data analysis projects.

• Descriptive Statistics (including central tendency, variance, standard deviation, covariance, correlation, probability)
• Inferential Statistics (including Central limit theorem, hypothesis testing, one-tailed and two-tailed test, and Chi-Square test)
