BCom (Mathematical Sciences)
Focal area: DATA SCIENCE [new focal area]
Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that
uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge
and insights from data in various forms, both structured and unstructured. Artificial
intelligence, machine learning, big data - these concepts are at the core of
data science. With the deluge of data, comes the increasing need for people to
make sense of the data. Studies have shown that statistical analysis and data
acumen are some of the top skills in demand globally at the moment, and that
demand far outstrips supply.
