What is Data Science?
Data Collection
Gathering and organizing data from
various sources, including databases,
sensors, and online platforms.
Data Analysis
Applying statistical techniques and
machine learning algorithms to extract
meaningful patterns and insights from the
data.

Decision Making
Using the insights gained from data analysis to inform business strategy and drive data-driven
decision making.
The Data Science Process
Problem Definition 1
Clearly define the business problem
or question that needs to be
addressed. 2 Data Collection
Gather relevant data from various
sources, ensuring data quality and
Data Preprocessing 3 integrity.
Clean, transform, and prepare the
data for analysis.
Data Collection and Preprocessing
Data Collection
Gather data from various sources, including
databases, APIs, and web scraping.
Ensure data is accurate, complete, and up-to-
date.
Data Preprocessing
Handle missing values, remove outliers, and
transform data into a format suitable for
analysis.
Perform feature engineering to create new, more
informative features.
Future of data science
