As there is a rush to hire data scientists these days, there is a coincident rush to update resumes to include the term "Data Scientist". Unfortunately, like most types of science, it is less a single topic and more a multi-disciplinary way of thinking, inquiring and communicating. You won't become a data scientist over night, but you can learn to be one in time. This tutorial will introduce you to the various skills that go into data science, provide practical walkthroughs of relevant tools and lay down a study plan for moving forward in this field. We will touch upon: - Math
- Statistics
- Machine learning
- Visualization
- Programming languages
