WHY LEARN DATA SCIENCE?
Ever encountered a situation where you were shopping online and bumped into advertisements that were surprisingly related to your searches on Facebook or other platforms continuously for about a week? How about when you were just casually sending a text to your friend and you were suggested by the keyboard to use these same precise words that you were planning to put inside the text you were going to send. Let’s also not forget how Youtube is able to display videos with similar content to what you’ve always watched on the recommendations section or home screen.
Data Science is the answer to all these strange incidents and it has been a successful aspect of many businesses. Over the years, it has been putting in significant value into a lot of business models through data and comprehensive learning to have better decision-making and improve hiring. Data Science also processes historical data and anticipates potentially harmful incidents or any possible risk to make sure that businesses can avoid them.
