  1. Introduction to Data Science  as a scientific field that

    uses scientific methods to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data and apply knowledge and actionable insights from data across a broad range of application domains.  The main goal of data science is to extract knowledgefrom data, in other words - to understand data, find some hidden relationships and build a model.
  2. Related fields Databases: data storage Big Data: large data quantities

    Machine Learning: developing models from existing data Artificial Intelligence: building complex models that mimic human beings Visualization: visualizing information to make sense of data
  3. Elements of Data Science Data acquisition: collecting data Data Storage:

    how to store and query data for future Data Processing: converting data for use Visualization: helps in understanding data and gaining insights Modelling: creating machine learning models
  4. Libraries: Pandas: manipulate data in dataframes. Numpy: numerical python to

    work with multidimensional arrays. Matplotlib and Seaborn: used for vizualization and plotting graphs
