Hi, my name is Megan and
I'm a teacher here at Treehouse.
0:09
My pronouns are she, her, hers.
0:14
In this course, I will refresh
your knowledge of some necessary
0:17
math skills that you will
need to be a data analyst.
0:22
A little stressed already?
0:25
Don't worry, I highly encourage
you to use a calculator or
0:27
your computer to do
the calculations in this course.
0:31
Performing calculations is one of
the primary uses of computers and
0:35
they are terrific at doing that.
0:40
We'll also take a look at how
to perform these using Python.
0:42
We're going to look at how
to calculate the minimum,
0:46
maximum, median, mean,
and mode of datasets.
0:51
These might be used to calculate
things like the average age of people
0:55
at a convention or the most common
favorite food listed on a survey.
0:59
We're also going to do a review of
percentages and the order of operations.
1:04
In this course, we'll do
the calculations manually first, and
1:09
then using Python to
produce the same results.
1:13
Let's dive in.
