What is Data Science?
The Science of converting “data” into “insight” has come to be popularly known as DATA SCIENCE. Data is being generated all around from shopping malls to shopping apps, from telephone calls to credit card transactions, and from almost anything that we do in this digital age. Raw data is of limited use but interpreting and using insights from this data can do wonders for the growth of businesses. No wonder Data Science has become the hottest skill as every company wants to use it!
Data Science involves the use of tools/technologies for managing large amounts of data, statistical techniques to analyse and interpret this data and understanding of domains such as finance, marketing, and pharma which provides the context for such analysis.
The main reasons why Data Science has become the latest buzzword are-
(1) Abundance of data
(2) Matured tools and technology
(3) Adaptability for implementation across domains such as healthcare, medical, telecom or logistics.
