PREFACE






            Data science is the 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 that helps the students learn and think outside the box. It helps the students to think and
            not just memorize, while at the same time improving their cognitive ability.

            Special thanks to Ms. Smitha R Athreya, DPS, Rourkela, for her valuable contributions in Part C of this
            book.
