Course Introduction

Data science, as an emerging discipline, relies on two factors: the ubiquity and diversity of data, and the commonality in data research. In modern society, all industries are filled with data, which comes in a variety of types, including not only traditional structured data but also unstructured data such as web pages, text, images, videos, and audio. Data science mainly includes two aspects: studying science with data methods and studying data with scientific methods. The former encompasses fields such as bioinformatics, Astro informatics, and digital earth; the latter includes statistics, machine learning, data mining, and databases. These are all important components of data science, but only by integrating them organically can the full picture of data science be formed. The course emphasizes students' learning of the principles and methods of data science.
