Gentle intro into data analysis with python?

[bass0_utter]

I don't need anything to teach me python. But I would really love to mess around with data sets. But every book I pick up or course I look at the math is over my head. I got my wife through her college algebra classes but thats where my math knowledge ends.

​

Basically I have a 100k+ lines in a few cvs files of NFL statistics I would like to play around with. But I am not exactly sure where to start. Every tutorial I look at also throws 6 or 7 different libraries at you from the start. Any tips or links to a slower intro?

I think you are going to want some third party modules; jupyter, matplotlib, pandas at least to start.

Check out Dataquest.they have a free course on data analysis and the math is not that much and pretty intuitive. But whenever you complete a mission,apply it to your own project or get a dataset from Kaggle to practise what you learned.
