Role of Mathematics in Data Science - Machine learning

Abstract

The mathematical concepts help with identifying patterns and algorithmic development. Mathematics is an important part of many modern scientific areas. It is also a field of major significance in data science. Mainly because of the concepts they propose and the tools they allow, statistics and arithmetic have such an essential role in data science. A specific type of mathematical reasoning is needed for analysing data, in addition to the basic concepts of calculus, discrete mathematics, and linear algebra. To understand how to apply such algorithms in data science, one must have a solid understanding of many different statistical and probability theory ideas. Modern data science methods have a strong mathematical basis for almost all of their techniques, including machine learning.
