SUMMARY

This appendix introduced you to Pandas for creating labeled data frames and displaying metadata of data frames. Then you learned how to create data frames from various sources of data, such as random numbers and hard-coded data values. In addition, you saw how to perform column-based and row-based operations in Pandas DataFrames.

You also learned how to read Excel spreadsheets and perform numeric calculations on the data in those spreadsheets, such as the minimum, mean, and maximum values in numeric columns. Then, you saw how to create Pandas DataFrames from data stored in CSV files.
