PREFACE
Data science is an art of generating useful information from data which has become an increasingly
important part of most operational processes. It does not matter whether you are a nurse, police officer,
engineer or scientist you are going to need a lot of information for your daily tasks.
Data science exposes students to state-of-the-art technology and helps them develop an aptitude to
analyse data resourcefully. It is the field of using systems, algorithms and scientific techniques to extract
insights from unstructured and structured data.
This is especially true, since Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that also interacts with various other
technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Internet of Things, etc.
Touchpad Data Science series is designed as per the latest CBSE curriculum with an interdisciplinary
approach towards Mathematics, Statistics and Information Technology. The book inculcates real-life
scenarios to explain the concepts and helps the students become better Data Science literates and pursue
future endeavours confidently.
To enrich the subject, this book contains different types of exercises like Objective Type Questions,
Standard Questions and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This book also includes Do You Know?
and Activity which helps the students to learn and think outside the box. It helps the students to think
and not just memorize, at the same time improve their cognitive ability.
