bookIntroduction to Data Analysis

Prerequisites
Prerequisiti

Data is everywhere. From online shopping trends and social media activity to scientific research and business performance, data plays a crucial role in shaping decisions across every industry. But raw data alone isn't enough - it needs to be explored, cleaned, and understood. That's where data analysis comes in.

Note
Definition

Data analysis is the process of collecting, organizing, interpreting, and visualizing data in order to extract meaningful insights. The goal is to turn raw numbers into actionable knowledge that can guide decisions, solve problems, or generate new ideas.

It combines tools and techniques from various domains like statistics, machine learning, and data visualization. Whether you're working with spreadsheets, large databases, or real-time streams of data, the core principles remain the same: understand the data, find patterns, and use those patterns to make informed decisions.
