Most of the material in this chapter has been geared at an understanding of the core data science tool for data analysis - the dataframe - and how to work with data in it (functions, tasks, manipulating and shaping data)
But we also covered good habits for data analysis, which will pay dividends as we dive into more (and new) datasets in the future
