What is Data Science?
Data science is the combination of informatics, mathematics, statistics, programming, problem-solving, capturing data in ingenious ways and the ability to look at things differently and the activity of cleansing, preparing and aligning the data.
What is Big Data?
Big Data refers to huge volumes of data that cannot be processed effectively with traditional applications. The processing of Big Data begins with the raw data that is not aggregated and is most often impossible to store in the memory of a single computer. Big Data can be used to analyze insights which can lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
What is Data Analytics?
Data Analytics is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about the information. It involves applying an algorithmic or mechanical process to derive insights. For instance, running through a number of data sets to look for meaningful correlations between each other. This technique is used in a number of industries to allow the organizations and companies to make better decisions as well as verify and disprove existing theories or models.
