What is Data Science?

Data science is introduced in 1980s.It is an interdisciplinary field, it's true foundations are in statistics, mathematics, computer science and business.

Data Science can be defined as the study of data and works mainly on large volumes of data coming from different types of sources such as financial logs,multimedia files, marketing forms, sensors and instruments, text files and many more. It is also used for data transformation and to create business and IT strategies.

Data Science also plays an important role in effective decision making. Self-driving or intelligent cars are a classic example.

An intelligent vehicle collects data in real-time from its surroundings through different sensors like radars, cameras, and lasers to create a visual (map) of their surroundings. Based on this data and advanced Machine Learning algorithm, it takes crucial driving decisions like turning, stopping, speeding, etc.
