Data science is a discipline that combines the use of statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge to extract valuable insights from data. Data science has become an essential tool for companies and organisations seeking to improve their decision-making, innovation, and competitiveness. In Data analytics, you will learn the basic concepts of data science, the necessary tools for data analysis—such as the use of Python and its main libraries for data analysis, including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn—and how to apply them to different practical examples. In addition, you will learn about the legal aspects you must take steps to protect data and privacy.
