Introduction

This tutorial covers the basics of data visualization, focusing on:

• Matplotlib: The foundational Python library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations.
• Seaborn: A data visualization library based on Matplotlib that provides a high-level interface for creating informative and attractive statistical graphics.

We aim to build a strong foundation in these libraries so you can use them to explore and analyze datasets more effectively.

Installation

To run the tutorials, ensure you have Python and the necessary libraries installed.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Matplotlib
• Seaborn
• Numpy (for working with datasets)

Tutorial Topics

1. Introduction to Matplotlib
   • Creating basic plots (line plots, bar plots, scatter plots)
   • Customizing plots (labels, titles, legends, colors)
   • Subplots and layouts
2. Seaborn for Statistical Visualization
   • Creating advanced plots (distribution plots, pair plots, heatmaps)
   • Customizing aesthetics with Seaborn styles
   • Visualizing complex data relationships using Seaborn's high-level API
3. Combining Matplotlib and Seaborn
   • Enhancing Matplotlib plots with Seaborn's powerful themes
   • Best practices for visualizing machine learning results

Getting Started

Each tutorial is provided in a separate Jupyter Notebook file. To explore the tutorials, run jupyter notebook in your terminal and navigate to the .ipynb file for each topic to get started with hands-on examples.
