What is Data Science?

Do you remember when you planned on opening a new branch of your Italian restaurant but couldn’t decide where to?

So, it begs the question, what can we do with all this data? How do we make it useful to us? How can we make use of this data to answer the questions we have and solve real-world problems? All these questions come under the domain of Data Science.

While thinking about my career, I’ve always been fascinated with the field of Data Science but was always discouraged by thinking that it is only for people who are seasoned statisticians, or mathematicians, as the roots of data science go deep in these two fields. And trust me, I’m neither. But still, I wanted to give it a shot.

During this WFH period, my employer-sponsored our learning through coursera.com, which is a blessing in disguise. Now the only thing left is a will to talk the first step. I started scouting for programs on Coursera and also started researching what I needed to get started.
