This document outlines a project exploring the use of Python and R for business applications. It provides brief descriptions of Python and R, noting their uses in scientific computing, big data, automation, web scraping, visualization, and more. Potential business applications are mentioned but not described. The document discusses success factors such as continuing to learn the syntax of Python and R, defining requirements, and investigating applications. It proposes taking what was learned about the languages and identifying a realistic business problem and solution to develop using Python, R, or both. Next steps include meeting with a professor, exploring solutions, and coordinating with teammates to develop materials showcasing Python and R.

5. Business Applications

6. Success Factors
● Continue to learn syntax of Python and R
● Define necessary requirements
● Investigate various business applications
● Coordinate with teammates and come up with concrete
solutions

7. Approach
Take what we
learned from
Python and R and
identify realistic
solution
Identify business
problem/solution
Familiarize
ourselves with
Python and R syntax
to gauge
possibilities
Learn languages
Use python, R, or
both to establish
solution that can
solve real-word
problems
Deploy prototype

8. Next Steps
● Meet with Professor Schuff
● Explore possible solutions using Python and R
● Coordinate with teammates to begin development of
website & slide deck to showcase Python vs R for data
analytics

9. Q&A
