Data science is an
interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and
systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured
data, and apply knowledge and actionable insights from data across a broad
range of application domains. Data science is related to data mining, machine
learning and big data. Data science is a "concept to unify statistics,
data analysis, informatics, and their related methods" in order to
"understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data. It uses
techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the context of
mathematics, statistics, computer science, information science, and domain
knowledge
