What exactly is Data Science?

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines programming, mathematics, statistics, domain knowledge and machine learning to extract meaningful insights from data and solve real-world problems.

Think of it this way:

Imagine Netflix wants to recommend movies to its users. It has millions of users, thousands of movies and billions of interactions.

A Data Scientist studies this information, identifies viewing patterns, develops recommendation models and helps the company deliver better suggestions.

That's Data Science: turning information into intelligent decisions.
