Culmination of a Couple Days of my Internship
I am doing an internship with Dr. Lee, where I am doing data analysis. Although, I didn't just start trying to analyze long spreadsheets. I had to first start downloading and installing certain programs so I would be able to analyze data. The first thing I did was to update python in my terminal. Then I needed to install pandas, which is a computer program that allows someone to analyze and manipulate data. Pandas can be looked at as a more coding and complicated version of excel, or google sheets. I then downloaded pyCharm which is essentially a python coding environment that allows me to execute my code. Then, Dr. Lee told me to find a set of data that I would input into pandas, and they do a simple operation with. I took the name of Elements, their atomic mass, melting point, ionization energy, and then made them into columns. Once I did that, I made a column that added atomic mass with ionization energy. After that, I made another column that multiplied atomic mass and ionizati...
