Data science is an interdisciplinary field encompassing scientific methods, processes, and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured. It draws principles from mathematics, statistics, information science, computer science, machine learning, visualization, data mining, and predictive analytics. However, it is fundamentally grounded in mathematics.
