2. DATA SCIENCE IS…
Data science, also known as data-driven science, is an
interdisciplinary field about scientific methods,
processes, and systems to extract knowledge or
insights from data in various forms, either structured
or unstructured, similar to data mining. (Wikipedia)
One way to consider data science is as an
evolutionary step in interdisciplinary fields like
business analysis that incorporate computer science,
modeling, statistics, analytics, and mathematics.
At its core, data science involves using automated
methods to analyze massive amounts of data and to
extract knowledge from them. (NYU)
