Each chapter is crafted as a self-contained module with clear learning outcomes. Well. I start with a theoretical foundation, explained in the simplest possible terms using relatable analogies—from predicting café footfall to forecasting your monthly mobile data usage. This is immediately followed by hands-on practical sessions using Python, the de facto language of data science. I leverage popular, open-source libraries such as pandas, statsmodels, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, ensuring that the skills you acquire are current, in-demand, and directly transferable to industry challenges.
