This document provides an overview of the field of data science, describing how it utilizes tools from coding, statistics, math, and domain knowledge to work creatively with data in order to gain insight and competitive advantage. The document discusses the various components of data science, including the Venn diagram of coding, statistics, and domain knowledge, and the pathway of defining project goals, organizing resources, data preparation, statistical modeling, model presentation and deployment, and big data analysis. The document also explores the concept of the "unicorn" - an expert in all aspects of data science - and the importance of diverse skill sets and backgrounds in the field. Keywords in the document include data science, coding, statistics, math, domain knowledge, SQL, regular expressions, databases, practical, project goals, data preparation, statistical modeling, model presentation, model deployment, big data, machine learning, data analysts, entrepreneurs, unicorn, Venn Diagrams, data variety, data velocity, and data volume.

Learn Data Science for Beginners
Barton Poulson's Data Science : An Introduction is a brief and
non-technical overview of the field of Data Science. In Data
Science you use tools that come from coding and statistics and
from math to work creatively with data. The idea is there 's
always more than one way to solve a problem or answer a
question but most importantly to get insight. Data science is
inclusive analysis. It includes all of the data that you have in
order to get the most insightful and compelling answer to your
research questions. The rare qualities are that data science
takes unstructured data, then finds order and value in the
data. Those are important , but they're not easy to come
across. Second, high demand. Data science provides insight
into what's going on around you and critically , it provides
competitive advantage. Data Science is a compelling career
alternative and a way of making you better at whatever you
are doing. We learn that there is a very high demand for data
science. There is a critical need for both specialists; those are
the sort of practicing data scientists. And for Generalists, the
people who speak the language and know what can be done.

Data Science Venn Diagram. Data Science is made of three
things: coding, statistics, math and domain knowledge. The
most common language there is SQL and regular expressions.
The ability to work with databases is also important too. Data
science is a combination of coding and statistics and math.
Data science is very practical and is designed to accomplish
something. And your familiarity with a particular field of
practice is going to make it that much easier and more
impactful when you implement the results of your analysis. The
ability to understand the mechanics of what is going on is a big
advantage. The third element of the data science Venn
Diagram is some sort of domain expertise. Several fields make
up Data Science. Diverse skills and backgrounds are important
and they are needed in data science. There are many roles
involved because there are a lot of different things that need to
happen. The next step in our data science introduction and our
definition of data science is to talk about the Data Science
Pathway.

The first thing that you need to do is define the goals of your
project so you know how to use your resources well. You need
to organize your resources and coordinate the people so they
