Data Science is the practice of obtaining useful insights from data.

The rise of Big Data has brought more attention to predictive analytics.

Machine learning is really about calculating the probabilities of an event happening.

Data Science draws from various disciplines. (Mathematics, Statistics, Machine

Learning... etc)

Analytics can be classified into one of four categories. Descriptive, Diagnostic,

Predictive and Prescriptive.

The most sophisticated of these is prescriptive and the least is descriptive.

Organizations can now incorporate often free data from outside their organization to
make decisions.

The high level steps to our data science are: Define a business problem, Acquire and
prepare the data, model it, deploy it and monitor model's performance.

Most algorithms can be placed into six categories. Classification,Clustering,Regression,

Simulation, Content Analysis and Recommenders.
