We often hear the phrase "data is the new oil", meaning that it is a precious resource that needs to be refined and processed to be turned into something valuable. This is why data science plays a crucial role in today's world by enabling organizations to extract meaningful insights and make informed decisions based on vast amounts of data. With its interdisciplinary approach combining statistics, mathematics, programming, and domain knowledge, data science empowers scientists and organizations to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations that might otherwise remain hidden.
