1. What is Data Science?

Data science is a field based on applied mathematics and statistics along with information data (also known as big data). Data science uses techniques such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to extract meaningful information and predict future patterns and behaviors.

  • Advancements in technology, the internet, social media, and the use of technology have all increased access to big data.

  • The field of data science is growing as technology advances and big data collection and analysis techniques become more and more sophisticated.

Example:

  • How can phone companies unlock screens, fingerprint apps, and facial recognition?

  • How does Facebook automatically tag the faces of individuals?

  • How does a platform like Facebook recommend videos to you,...
