Data Science
You know what data is, right? You should. You’re looking at it now. And when you send your friend a selfie or snag shoes online. You’re in the middle of it. Did you ever stop and think about the science behind the data? It’s so cutting edge, you may need a Band-Aid®. Who creates it? Who delivers it? Who figures it all out?
“Passion provides purpose, but data drives decisions.”
—Andy Dunn, American businessman
It’s all about the data.
Data science is all about creating the computer operations and calculations that help gather information, harness it, find patterns in it, and deliver answers, solutions, and that pair of shoes to your doorstep.
It’s been estimated, that by 2020, 1.7MB of data will be created every second for every person on earth.
