Conclusion. 330 $aThis book is intended to serve as the basis for a first course in Python programming for graduate students in political science and related fields. The book introduces core concepts of software development and computer science such as basic data structures (e.g. arrays, lists, dictionaries, trees, graphs), algorithms (e.g. sorting), and analysis of computational efficiency. It then demonstrates how to apply these concepts to the field of political science by working with structured and unstructured data, querying databases, and interacting with application programming interfaces (APIs). Students will learn how to collect, manipulate, and exploit large volumes of available data and apply them to political and social research questions. They will also learn best practices from the field of software development such as version control and object-oriented programming. Instructors will be supplied with in-class example code, suggested homework assignments (with solutions), and material for practical lab sessions. 410 0$aTextbooks on Political Analysis,$x2522-0373 606 $aStatistics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040 606 $aPolitical Science and International Relations, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/900000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 14$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 615 24$aPolitical Science and International Relations, general. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 676 $a005.133 700 $aCutler$b Josh$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01013802 702 $aDickenson$b Matt$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483059603321 996 $aComputational Frameworks for Political and Social Research with Python$92359379 997 $aUNINA
