To add a callout-note

Note

Suggestions for a Better Learning Experience:

To add Python code without running them …

import pandas as pd

# Read CSV file, skipping first 5 rows, using row 6 as header, and handling comma as thousands separator
df_pop = pd.read_csv(
    'L1_data/UK_census_population.csv',
    skiprows=5,        # Skip first 5 rows. Wnhy?
    thousands=',',     # Interpret commas as thousands separators
    header=0           # After skipping, the first row becomes the header
)

print(df_pop.head())

To add and run Python code

import pandas as pd

# Read CSV file, skipping first 5 rows, using row 6 as header, and handling comma as thousands separator
df_pop = pd.read_csv(
    'L1_data/UK_census_population.csv',
    skiprows=5,        # Skip first 5 rows. Wnhy?
    thousands=',',     # Interpret commas as thousands separators
    header=0           # After skipping, the first row becomes the header
)

print(df_pop.head())

To add a photo - replace the path. Using relative path is also okay.

To add some “questions”

The qmd file will be rendered as two files in sessions folder, including a html and ipynb format. The html file will contain both question and answer, while the ipynb file will contain only the question.

For the effect, please check HTML and ipynb.

if ??
    ??
else:
    ??

if 'Moscow' in ['Moscow', 'Beijing']:
    print("Moscow is in the cities list.")
else:
    print("Moscow is not in the cities list.")

Moscow is in the cities list.

You’re Done!

Congratulations on completing the first QM practical session! If you are still working on it, take you time.

Don’t worry about understanding every detail of the Python code — what matters most is knowing which functions to use for a specific task, like checking minimum and maximum values or generating boxplots, and knowing how to debug when it goes wrong. Remember, practice makes perfect.
