Abstract
Data science encompasses the tools and techniques for extracting information from data. Data science techniques draw extensively from the field of mathematics, statistics, and computation. However, data science is now encapsulated into software packages and libraries, thus making them easily accessible and consumable by the software development and engineering communities. This is a major factor to the rise of intelligence capabilities now integrated as a major staple in software products across all sorts of domains.
