* [x] watch the following videos from the DeepLearning.AI course on Python for Data Analytics to get an idea about how to analyze time series data:
  * [DateTimes](https://learn.deeplearning.ai/specializations/data-analytics/lesson/yt06e/datetimes) (5 minutes)
  * [Using DateTimes as Indices](https://learn.deeplearning.ai/specializations/data-analytics/lesson/xtibp/using-datetimes-as-indices) (3 minutes)
  * [Moving Averages](https://learn.deeplearning.ai/specializations/data-analytics/lesson/n5vs5/moving-average) (5 minutes)
  * [Percent Change](https://learn.deeplearning.ai/specializations/data-analytics/lesson/icu5f/percent-change) (4 minutes)
