Pandas bring a lot to the table when you are dealing with mathematical operations.

Here is a simple example of how to compute the absolute value of a column.

# We import our pandas as library
import pandas as pd

# We create a sample dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1" : [-13, 21, -2, 10]})

# We compute the absolute value of a column
print(df["col1"].abs())

Here you are! You now know how to compute the absolute value with Pandas using Python.
