The art of uncovering the insights and trends in data has been around for centuries. The ancient Egyptians applied census data to increase efficiency in tax collection and they accurately predicted the flooding of the Nile river every year. Since then, people working in data science have carved out a unique and distinct field for the work they do. This field is data science and in this course, you will meet some big data science practitioners and we will get an overview of what data science is today.

    This course doesn't teach any useful skills, and the quizzes ask about pointless information from the readings or videos. The quizzes aren't used to enforce important concepts.
