How much Math do I need to become a Data Scientist?

Question

The topics in maths I know are calculus, linear algebra, and statistics

Answer 1

A friend of mine who is studying Mathematics at the University of Ibadan,Nigeria say that I need to know Statistics &Probability, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Optimization Methods.

Answer 2

You'll need a lot of Maths to become a Data Scientist. But if you just want to become a software developer or engineer, then you won't need much math in real life. What you will need will be problem solving, logic building, and a creative mind.

Answer 3

If you really want to become a Data Scientist...who cares? You can learn the math you need just like you learn coding. Good Luck on your journey 🍀😊

Happy coding 😊😊.

Answer 5

As data scientist you need to use logical and statistical methods to analyze data. For example you can make physical simulations to find relationships between features. I think basic knowledge of statistics are a part of mathematics but not only. I hope that helps.

Answer 6

As a Data scientist you will be using a large number of libraries making the calculations for you what you really need it to understand and improve mathematics understand it's not know a bunch of formulas it's about know how to use past data to give predict outcomes

Answer 7

not much. but the more math you know, the better programmer you wiil get

Answer 8

The trinity is Statistics, Linear Algebra, and Calculus.

Answer 9

If you know that x = 5 means x can be used in order to reference 5

You can be data scientist as we use that expression x with for example additional keywords as computer need to be told that you want x = 5 so when we use x you replace that with 5

const x = 5 is like x = 5 in school math const is for a PC and if a teacher was a PC we were going to use const also from school...

Meaning you do it with understanding of math that you already know...
