Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

The other terms: Business Analytics, Data Analytics, Data Mining, Predictive Analytics are essentially the same as Data Science. Data Science is concerned with analyzing data and extracting useful knowledge from it. Building predictive models are usually the most important activity for a Data Scientist.

More generally, a data scientist is someone who knows how to extract meaning from and interpret data, which requires both tools and methods from statistics and machine learning, as well as being human. She spends a lot of time in the process of collecting, cleaning, and munging data, because data is never clean. This process requires persistence, statistics, and software engineering skills—skills that are also necessary for understanding biases in the data science certification, and for debugging logging output from the code.

Data Science Today
Companies are applying big data and data science to everyday activities to bring value to consumers. Banking institutions are capitalizing on big data to enhance their fraud detection successes. Asset management firms are using big data to predict the likelihood of a security’s price moving up or down at a stated time. Companies such as Netflix mine big data to determine what products to deliver to its users. Netflix also uses algorithms to create personalized recommendations for users based on their viewing history. Data science is evolving at a rapid rate, and its applications will continue to change lives into the future.
