It requires some mathematical sophistication on the part of the reader, as well as comfort using computers and statistical software.Data science is a new field that has arisen to exploit the proliferation of data in the modern world. Mathematical statistics dates back to the mid-18th century, where the field began as the systematic collection of population and economic data by nations. The modern practice of statistics – which includes the collection, summarization, and analysis of data – dates to the early 20th century. Today statistical methods are widely used by governments, businesses and other organizations, as well as by all scientific disciplines.It has been said that a data scientist must have a better grasp of statistics than the average computer scientist and a better grasp of programming than the average statistician.
