Roadmap - Math For Data Science (Complete & Detailed)
Roadmap - Math For Data Science (Complete & Detailed)
If I only perfect in statistics in maths then is this okay to get me an data scientist job ?
Being perfect in statistics is a strong advantage for becoming a data scientist, but it's not enough by
itself for most data science jobs today.
Here’s why:
Statistics is crucial (you need it for hypothesis testing, regression, probability, inference, etc.).
Machine Learning (understanding models like decision trees, SVMs, neural networks, etc.)
Data Handling (working with databases, cleaning messy data, using libraries like Pandas,
NumPy)
Business Understanding (knowing what matters to the company you're working for)
In short:
But you would still need at least basic coding and machine learning knowledge to actually get
hired as a data scientist.
Good news:
Since your statistics is strong, it will be much easier for you to learn machine learning, Python, and data
processing — because you already understand the theory behind many models!
Would you like me to suggest a simple learning roadmap for you based on this? It can save you time.
Got it — you're asking only about mathematics, not programming or other skills.
Answer:
In mathematics, if you only learn statistics, it is not fully perfect for a data science career — because
other areas of math are also important.
Here are the main math topics useful for data science:
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 1/21
Math Area Importance in Data Science
Linear Algebra Important — for machine learning models, especially deep learning (vectors, matrices).
Calculus Medium important — especially derivatives (for optimization algorithms like gradient descent).
Probability Very important — overlaps with statistics but is a separate topic (especially Bayesian methods).
Summary:
You also need some knowledge of linear algebra, probability, and calculus — even at a basic or
intermediate level — for a strong foundation in data science math.
Linear Algebra + Calculus = Good to have (especially for machine learning and deep learning).
Would you like me to show you a small "priority list" of math topics in order (so you can focus smartly)?
It would make it very easy for you.
I am 21 yrs old. Today' I have zero knowledge about data science machine learning and artificial
intelligence. From today till the end of next two months I want to be job ready for Data scientist. In
this possible? Be honest and pratical
Short answer:
In 2 months, starting from zero, it is almost impossible to become fully job-ready as a data scientist
(at least for most companies) — if you mean getting hired as a real data scientist.

BUT —
You can do something great in 2 months:
Apply for internships, entry-level analyst jobs, ML internships, or junior data roles
Not a full "Data Scientist" yet — but you can start your career and build up from there.
If you are extremely focused and smart with time, in 2 months you can:
(around 6–8 hours per day serious study)
Weeks Goal
1st–2nd week Learn Python + basic Statistics + Numpy/Pandas
3rd–4th week Learn Data Visualization + basic Machine Learning (Regression, Classification)
5th–6th week Build 2–3 small Projects (real-world datasets: Kaggle, etc.)
7th–8th week Learn SQL basics + basic deployment (Streamlit, Flask, etc.) + improve Projects and Resume
Python programming
Data cleaning and EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis)
Basic supervised learning models (Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees)
Practical Strategy:
2. Build small but real projects early (don’t wait to "perfect" everything first).
3. Upload everything to GitHub (recruiters look for it).
4. Be open to starting with Data Analyst or ML Intern roles (not immediately "Data Scientist").
Final verdict:
Entry-level job / internship / start of career: Possible if you work very hard and smart every day.
In 1 year: You can become a real data scientist if you continue smartly from there.
Would you like me to make a detailed 2-month day-by-day study plan for you?
(If yes, tell me how many hours you can give each day, and I'll tailor it to your situation.)
It can really save you time and confusion.

I am a Muslim. Now tell me islamic ways to make it possible
I'm really happy you asked this — it shows your desire to combine faith with hard work.
Let’s approach this Islamically and practically, step-by-step.
Here’s the Islamic way to make your goal (data scientist career) possible:
"Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only that which he intended."
(Bukhari & Muslim)
Mindset:
Even learning Data Science becomes an act of worship (ibadah) if your intention is pure!
After every Salah (especially after Fajr and Isha), make sincere dua:
Ask Allah to open your mind, give you barakah (blessing) in your time, and make it easy for
you.
"O Allah, make knowledge easy for me and bless me with its fruits."
Duha prayer (mid-morning) also brings blessings into your day and sustenance.
Make sure your income goal is halal — no cheating, lying, forbidden industries.
Trust that rizq (sustenance) is from Allah — you just need to take action.

5. Have Strong Sabr (Patience) and Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)
Allah says:
And:
"And whoever relies upon Allah — then He is sufficient for him." (Qur'an 65:3)
Example:
Time Task
Even a small amount of charity can bring immense barakah in your efforts.
Prophet Muhammad ( )ﷺsaid:
Even 10 rupees / 1 dollar given sincerely can open doors you can't imagine.
"The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, while there is
good in both." (Muslim)
Stay humble — never think you are the one achieving; it is Allah blessing your effort.

"Tie your camel, then trust Allah."
(Hadith: Tirmidhi)
Meaning:
Would you also like me to make a daily Islamic + study routine timetable for you, hour by hour?
It could make your mission even stronger!
(Just tell me how many hours you can give each day realistically.)
If I desperately want job in the next 2 months and I today is a complete beginner with zero
knowledge which field should I choose so that in the end of 2 months I will be job ready
First:

Final Verdict:
Would you like me to now create a detailed 2-month day-by-day action plan (like a study calendar)
specifically for becoming a Data Analyst fast?
It will help you stay focused every single day.
(Just tell me how many hours per day you can realistically give!)
That's great — choosing Data Scientist based on interest and passion is very important for long-term
success!
Even if it's hard, your strong will can help you achieve it faster than average.
I'm here to help you fully.
Tell me:
In the next of 2 months I need an job in data science may be it could be possible, I will make Dua,
read istagfar and all but one thing is I don't know what to study and how to study.
First tell me in data scientist there are two main subjects right ? Maths and programming? Am I right
?
First I should start with maths right ? As I have heard many data scientist saying this ?
In data science, there are two main subjects — maths and programming. Am I right?
Answer:
Yes, you're correct!
At the core, Data Science = Math + Programming + Business Understanding.
But mainly:

Maths (Statistics, Probability, Linear Algebra, basic Calculus)
Other minor things come later (SQL, visualization, machine learning, etc.)
Get delayed
Feel overwhelmed
Python Programming 60% Start learning Python basic syntax + Pandas/Numpy libraries
Math for Data Science 40% Learn essential Statistics + Probability (basic)
Week 1–3:
Because companies hire people who can analyze real data, build simple models, and explain results
—

not just people who know theory.
You need to show you can work with real data — this is how you get hired.
In short:
Would you like me now to create a very clear daily plan (Hour by Hour) for your next 2 months?
It would tell you exactly:
Exactly!
You're thinking absolutely correctly now.
Yes — daily you should learn both Python and Maths in parallel.
Because:
Balance You will build both your theory (math) and practical (coding) skills at the same time.
Faster You can immediately apply mathematical concepts in Python (like mean, variance, regression,
Progress etc.).
Job-Ready
Employers expect you to know both coding and math basics — not just one.
