Week 29: Data Science

"If there is no path before you, create your own."

Data Science can be defined as the science, or art, of gathering, cleaning, organizing, analyzing, and presenting data and the findings within it. It is a broad and growing field, and in this week's Tuesday Fix, I will be exploring what Data Science is, and how you can learn and get involved. Also, Artificial Intelligence is also a growing field, and a subset of Data Science. If you want to specifically learn more about Artificial Intelligence, please read my earlier Tuesday Fix post on it!
