Road map for Complete Beginners : Data Science: 2023 - 2024

We connect with data every day in one way or another, whether directly or indirectly. Your phone book and even how you use daily computations contain data. According to wikipedia, data science is an interdisciplinary academic subject that employs statistics, scientific computers, and scientific methods, procedures, algorithms, and systems to deduce knowledge and insights from noisy, structured, and unstructured data.

Why Learn Data Science?

Data science is recognized as the "sexiest job of the 21st century" by Harvard Business review in 2021. Its capacity to pull, obtain, and derive actionable insights from various data sets

1) Demand for data scientists - As more organizations begin to value data, they will require someone who can extract insights from it.
2) It has Numerous endeavors in the fields of health,disaster relief,and even business use the data that data scientists collect.
3) Data scientists earn competitively high salaries.
