Data science is nothing but the "studying of data" and to study that data we use science such as statistics models etc., These days where ever we see we have data every wear. So in order to understand this data and try to predict the interesting patterns in the data and also to predict the future, we use data science. You can master the Data Science Tools through our Data Science Certification and be an expert.

Well when we want to perform many things on data and predict, we need to have some kind of programming language so R and Python come into the picture. These two languages are good at handling datasets of various formats. for example text data, CSV data, image data, etc.

Coming to the question do we need any background subject to learn?

You need not have much knowledge but if you have some minimum knowledge of programming and statistics then it's great.

Data science is used every were for example marketing to know trends, in Gmail to know spam or ham, and in google for spell check.
