Abstract
In this chapter, first we introduce some of the cornerstone tools that data scientists use and then we offer a basic overview of the Python language and its data science ecosystem. Examples of the most common data structures and basic functions that data scientists perform are explained to provide the basis for a better understanding of later chapters.
