Professional introduction

Data science is an undergraduate major in China's general colleges and universities, and was included in the list of new majors in the catalog of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities in 2022. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that utilizes scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract value from data. Data scientists combine a range of skills (including statistics, computer science, and business knowledge) to analyze data collected from the web, smartphones, customers, sensors, and other sources.

Data science reveals trends and generates insights that organizations can use to make better decisions and launch more innovative products and services. Data is the cornerstone of innovation, but the value of data can only be realized if data scientists gather information from it and then act on it.

An interdisciplinary field that combines the scientific methods, systems, and processes of statistics, information science, and computer science to provide insights into phenomena through structured or unstructured data.
