With the tremendous availability of large volumes of data across several domains, there has been an explosion of interest in all aspects of handling and understanding data. Data Science is bringing together of all aspects of technology required for gathering, storing, analyzing and understanding data. This includes storage technology, distributed computing, data-driven modelling, data analytics and mining, visualization and security, among others. Given that proper interpretation and modelling requires good domain understanding this becomes an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor. The goal of IDDD program on Data Science is to give basic background to students from different disciplines in data science and provide many opportunities for them to specialize in a particular aspect of data science through the electives and the project. This course will prepare students to become applied Data Scientists and also prepare them for pursuing higher studies.le.
