No prior experience with data science is required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY At its core data science is a set of concepts and techniques for extracting meaning and clarity from enormous stored data sets or fast-moving data streams. Data scientists write programs to interpret these data. The Python programming language is a favorite tool of data scientists because it s easy to read and write and it provides several high-value libraries that simplify core tasks like statistics machine learning algorithms and mathematics.
