Data Scientist Learning Path
Introduction
Data Science was first used in the 1960s as a way to understand and interpret the large amount of data being created at that time. It is now even more pertinent with the vast amounts of data being created every day - estimated to be 2.5 quintillion bytes.
The field originally started with the use of statistics and statistical models, but it has now evolved to include new technologies and concepts including Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT).
