We think it should also be useful to

- Anyone who wants a brief introduction to Python and the key components

of its data science stack, and

- Python programmers who want a quick refresher on using Python for

data analysis.

We do not expect any of our readers to have a formal background in computer science, although some familiarity with programming would be nice to have. The concepts and ideas here are covered with several examples to help connect theory to practice.
