How hard is Data Science?

Question

I am in the final year of my BTech and interested in Data Science. Is it really that tough to learn Data Science?

Answer 1

To learn Data Science, you need to have knowledge of quantum mechanics, electromagnetics. No, I was just kidding. Data Science is not that hard if you follow a structured plan in learning Data Science. I would recommend this following learning path to learn Data Science:

• Start with learning programming languages like Python, R programming, or SAS
• Get familiar with the database technologies like SQL, NoSQL
• Understand basic mathematical concepts and statistics for making inferences
• Learn Machine learning concepts and  
• Learn deep learning methods for computer vision and text analytics
• Gain knowledge of Data visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI, QlikView, etc.

With proper guidance and systematic learning, one can easily understand data science. Intellipaat has come up with an online Data Science course with systematic learning via experts
