LEARN DATA SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS

 Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on extracting insights and knowledge from data. It combines elements of statistics, mathematics, computer science, and domain expertise to analyze and interpret structured and unstructured data. Data scientists use various tools and techniques to process, visualize, and model data to uncover patterns, make predictions, or inform decision-making.

The field involves multiple steps, such as data collection, cleaning, exploration, analysis, and modeling, often leveraging programming languages like Python, R, and SQL along with machine learning algorithms.
