Data Scientist from
Scratch
by
SONU KUMAR

2. What is Data Science??
O Data Science as a multi-disciplinary subject encompasses the use
of mathematics, statistics, and computer science to study and
evaluate data. The key objective of Data Science is to extract
valuable information for use in strategic decision making,
product development, trend analysis and forecasting.
O A Data scientist is sort of 'jack-of-all-trades' for data crunching.
Basically, 3 main skills a data scientist needs to possess are
mathematics/statistics, computer programming literacy and
knowledge of particular business.
