Some stats, some code, some business thinking. It&#8217;s not simply about the numbers. It\u2019s about taking numbers and turning those into decisions that a company can really act on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fundamental_Skills_for_Data_Science\"><\/span><strong>Fundamental Skills for Data Science<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Programing_PythonR\"><\/span><strong>1.
