Introduction

Data science has emerged as one of the most impactful domains in technology, enabling
businesses and researchers to derive meaningful insights from data. Python, a versatile and
high-level programming language, has established itself as a preferred tool for data science
due to its simplicity and the rich ecosystem of libraries.

The journey of data science involves multiple stages, including data collection,
preprocessing, analysis, visualization, and model building. Python provides dedicated
libraries for each of these stages. For instance, NumPy facilitates numerical computations,
Pandas enables efficient data manipulation, and Scikit-learn and TensorFlow power
machine learning and deep learning tasks. This report highlights the features, advantages, and
practical applications of these libraries with hands-on code examples.

The versatility and active community support of Python have made it an indispensable tool in
data science. As data continues to grow in volume and complexity, mastering Python and its
libraries is becoming a necessity for professionals across industries.

Code

import pandas as pd

# Create a DataFrame
data = {
'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'David'],
'Age': [25, 30, 35, 40],
'Salary': [50000, 60000, 70000, 80000]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Perform operations
print("DataFrame:\n", df)
print("Summary statistics:\n", df.describe())

dimensional arrays. Tensors can be constants, variables, or placeholders.
• Computational Graph: TensorFlow builds a computational graph that
represents the operations to be performed on tensors. This allows for efficient
execution and optimization.

Building Models:

• Sequential API (Keras): TensorFlow's Keras API is the preferred high-level

interface for building deep learning models. It simplifies the process of creating
and training neural networks.

• Functional API: TensorFlow allows you to create models with more complex
architectures, including multiple inputs and outputs.
Layers and Activation Functions:

activation functions like relu, sigmoid, and tanh to build neural network
architectures.

• RMSprop to minimize the loss during training.

Model Training:

• model.compile(): Configures the model with the chosen loss function, optimizer, and
metrics.
