Specialisation
Data Science is related to Computer Science but is a separate field which deals with any type of Data Analysis, which may or may not use computers. Data Science is closely related to the Mathematics field of Statistics, which includes collection, organisation, analysis and presentation of data. Data Science has also contributed immensely to the Healthcare Sector. Data Science algorithms and applications can be found in Genomics, Drug Development, Medical Image Analysis, Remote Monitoring, to name a few.
