    "# Data Manipulation with Numpy and Pandas\n",
    "\n",
    "Handling with large data is easy in Python. In the simplest way using arrays. However, they are pretty slow. Numpy and Panda are two great libraries for dealing with datasets. Numpy isused for homogenous n-dimensional data (matrices). Pandas is used for heterogenous tables (CSV, MS Excel tables). Pandas is internally based on Numpy, too. See http://scipy-lectures.github.io/ for a more detailed lesson.\n"
