Data Science is a cross-disciplinary practice of extracting meaning from data. It often combines elements of statistics, computer science, predictive modeling and visualization. At its core, it’s just another way to learn through reason and evidence. The idea is hardly new, except now the world has tools to learn more, faster and cheaper than ever before.
It’s a big deal. We are witnessing a Cambrian explosion in knowledge before our very eyes. Centuries of learning can now be captured in an instant. Saving the world, or even small slices of it, has never been more accessible.
