• The simplest definition of data science is the
extraction of actionable insights from raw data.

• Turing award winner Jim Gray imagined data

science as a "fourth paradigm" of science
(empirical, theoretical, computational and now
data-driven) and asserted that "everything about
science is changing because of the impact of
information technology" and the data deluge.
•Data science is a deep study of the massive amount
of data, which involves extracting meaningful
insights from raw, structured, and unstructured data
that is processed using the scientific method,
different technologies, and algorithms.
•It is a multidisciplinary field that uses tools and
techniques to manipulate the data so that you can
find something new and meaningful.
•Data science uses the most powerful hardware,
programming systems, and most efficient algorithms
to solve the data related problems. It is the future of
artificial intelligence.
• Data science is an inter-disciplinary field that uses
scientific methods, processes, algorithms and
systems to extract knowledge and insights from
many structural and unstructured data.
• Data science is related to data mining, deep
learning and big data.
• It is a "concept to unify statistics, data
analysis, machine learning, domain
knowledge and their related methods" in order to
"understand and analyze actual phenomena" with
data.
Data Science as a field focused on extracting
knowledge and insights from data by using scientific
methods.
• It uses techniques and theories drawn from many
fields within the context
of mathematics, statistics, computer
science, domain knowledge and information
science.
• An area that manages, manipulates, extracts, and
interprets knowledge from tremendous amount of
data.
• Data science (DS) is a multidisciplinary field of study
with goal to address the challenges in big data.
• Data science principles apply to all data i.e. big and
small.
• The term “data science” has been traced back to
1974, when Peter Naur proposed it as an
alternative name for computer science.
• In 1996, the International Federation of
Classification Societies became the first
conference to specifically feature data science as a
topic.
• In 1997, C.F. Jeff Wu suggested that statistics
should be renamed data science
• in 2002, the Committee on Data for Science and
Technology launched Data Science Journal.
• In 2003, Columbia University launched The
Journal of Data Science.
• In 2014, the American Statistical Association's
Section on Statistical Learning and Data Mining
changed its name to the Section on Statistical
Learning and Data Science, reflecting the
ascendant popularity of data science
we can say that data science is all about:
•Asking the correct questions and analyzing
the raw data.
•Modeling the data using various complex
and efficient algorithms.
•Visualizing the data to get a better
perspective.
•Understanding the data to make better
decisions and finding the final result.
Example:
Let suppose we want to travel from station A to
station B by car. Now, we need to take some
decisions such as which route will be the best
route to reach faster at the location, in which
route there will be no traffic jam, and which
will be cost-effective. All these decision factors
will act as input data, and we will get an
appropriate answer from these decisions, so
this analysis of data is called the data analysis,
which is a part of data science.
some years ago, data was less and mostly available in a
structured form, which could be easily stored in excel
sheets, and processed using BI (business intelligence)
tools.
•But in today's world, data is becoming so vast, i.e.,
approximately 2.5 quintals bytes of data is generating
on every day, which led to data explosion.
•It is estimated as per researches, that by 2020, 1.7 MB
of data will be created at every single second, by a
single person on earth. Every Company requires data to
work, grow, and improve their businesses.
•It is estimated as per researches, that by 2020, 1.7
MB of data will be created at every single second,
by a single person on earth. Every Company requires
data to work, grow, and improve their businesses.
•Now, handling of such huge amount of data is a
challenging task for every organization. So to
handle, process, and analysis of this, we required
some complex, powerful, and efficient algorithms
and technology, and that technology came into
existence as data Science.
Following are some main reasons for using data science
technology-
•With the help of data science technology, we can convert the
massive amount of raw and unstructured data into meaningful
insights.
•Data science technology is opting by various companies,
whether it is a big brand or a startup. Google, Amazon,
Netflix, etc, which handle the huge amount of data, are using
data science algorithms for better customer experience.
•Data science is working for automating transportation such as
creating a self-driving car, which is the future of
transportation.
•Data science can help in different predictions such as various
survey, elections, flight ticket confirmation, etc.
The main components of Data Science are given below:
1. Statistics: Statistics is one of the most important
components of data science. Statistics is a way to collect and
analyze the numerical data in a large amount and finding
meaningful insights from it.
2. Domain Expertise: In data science, domain expertise
binds data science together. Domain expertise means
specialized knowledge or skills of a particular area. In data
science, there are various areas for which we need domain
experts.
3. Data engineering: Data engineering is a part of data
science, which involves acquiring, storing, retrieving, and
transforming the data. Data engineering also includes
metadata (data about data) to the data.
4. Visualization: Data visualization is meant by representing
data in a visual context so that people can easily understand
the significance of data. Data visualization makes it easy to
access the huge amount of data in visuals.
5. Advanced computing: Heavy lifting of data science is
advanced computing. Advanced computing involves
designing, writing, debugging, and maintaining the source
code of computer programs.
6. Mathematics: Mathematics is the critical part of data
science. Mathematics involves the study of quantity, structure,
space, and changes. For a data scientist, knowledge of good
mathematics is essential.
7. Machine learning: Machine learning is backbone of data
science. Machine learning is all about to provide training to a
machine so that it can act as a human brain. In data science,
we use various machine learning algorithms to solve the
problems.
The explanation of the data science life cycle is-
Capture: data acquisition, data entry, signal
reception, data extraction).
Maintain: data warehousing, data cleansing, data
staging, data processing, data architecture).
Process: data mining, clustering/classification, data
modeling, data summarization.
Analyze: exploratory/confirmatory, predictive
analysis, regression, text mining, qualitative
analysis).
Communicate: data reporting, data visualization,
business intelligence, decision making.
• Big data is very quickly becoming a vital tool for
businesses and companies of all sizes.
• The availability and interpretation of big data has
altered the business models of old industries and
enabled the creation of new ones.
• Data scientists are responsible for breaking down
big data into usable information and creating
software and algorithms that help companies and
organizations determine optimal operations.
• As big data continues to have a major impact on
the world, data science does as well due to the
close relationship between the two.
Data Science will Impact Future of Businesses
• Data science might therefore imply a focus
involving data and, by extension, statistics
• or the systematic study of the organization,
properties, and analysis of data and its role in
inference, including our confidence in the
inference.
Ques: Why then do we need a new term like data
science when we have had statistics for centuries?
Ans: The fact that we now have huge amounts of
data should not in and of itself justify the need for a
new term.
Following are some tools required for data science:
Data Analysis tools: R, Python, Statistics, SAS, Jupyter, R
Studio, MATLAB, Excel, RapidMiner.
Data Warehousing: ETL, SQL, Hadoop, Informatica/Talend,
AWS Redshift
Data Visualization tools: R, Jupyter, Tableau, Cognos.
Machine learning tools: Spark, Mahout, Azure ML studio.
There are some common application areas of Data Science-

 Fraud and Risk Detection

 Healthcare
 Internet Search
 Targeted Advertising
 Website Recommendations
 Advanced Image Recognition
 Speech Recognition
 Airline Route Planning
 Gaming
 Augmented Reality
• Anomaly detection (fraud, disease, crime, etc.)
• Automation and decision-making (background checks,
credit worthiness, etc.)
• Classifications (in an email server, this could mean
classifying emails as “important” or “junk”)
• Forecasting (sales, revenue and customer retention)
• Pattern detection (weather patterns, financial market
patterns, etc.)
• Recognition (facial, voice, text, etc.)
• Recommendations (based on learned preferences,
recommendation engines can refer you to movies,
restaurants and books you may like) and many more.
Image recognition and speech recognition:
Data science is currently using for Image and speech recognition. When you
upload an image on Facebook and start getting the suggestion to tag to your
friends. This automatic tagging suggestion uses image recognition algorithm,
which is part of data science.
When you say something using, "Ok Google, Siri, Cortana", etc., and these
devices respond as per voice control, so this is possible with speech recognition
algorithm.
Gaming world:
In the gaming world, the use of Machine learning algorithms is increasing day
by day. EA Sports, Sony, Nintendo, are widely using data science for enhancing
user experience.
Internet search:
When we want to search for something on the internet, then we use different
types of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, etc. All these search
engines use the data science technology to make the search experience better,
and you can get a search result with a fraction of seconds.
Transport:
Transport industries also using data science technology to create self-driving
cars. With self-driving cars, it will be easy to reduce the number of road
accidents.
Healthcare:
In the healthcare sector, data science is providing lots of benefits. Data science is
being used for tumor detection, drug discovery, medical image analysis, virtual
medical bots, etc.
Recommendation systems:
Most of the companies, such as Amazon, Netflix, Google Play, etc., are using
data science technology for making a better user experience with personalized
recommendations. Such as, when you search for something on Amazon, and you
started getting suggestions for similar products, so this is because of data science
technology.
Risk detection:
Finance industries always had an issue of fraud and risk of losses, but with the
help of data science, this can be rescued.
Most of the finance companies are looking for the data scientist to avoid risk and
any type of losses with an increase in customer satisfaction.
To become a data scientist, one should also be aware of machine
learning and its algorithms, as in data science, there are various
machine learning algorithms which are broadly being used.
Following are the name of some machine learning algorithms used
in data science:
• Regression
• Decision tree
