In 2012 the Harvard Business Review called it “The sexiest job of the 21st century”. Some claim that it is nothing more than a sexed-up term for statistics and so a lot of confusion reigns.

This means that it can have different interpretations but at its heart data science is the extraction of knowledge from data.
