Class 1. Introduction To Data Science

Data science involves using computer science, statistics, and machine learning to analyze large amounts of data. It encompasses collecting, cleaning, analyzing, visualizing, and interacting with data to derive insights and create data products. Data science draws upon skills from computer science like coding and algorithms, mathematics like statistics, and domain expertise to understand data in context. The amount of data being generated is growing exponentially and new technologies like the Square Kilometer Array telescope will generate as much data in a single day as the entire planet produces in a year, driving more opportunities for data science.
