Some exciting Data Science Topics

Python Programming One of the main languages used for data analysts using Wes McKinney's famous book.
Algorithms and Data Science Dozens and dozens of methods for analyzing data which start with standard statistical techniques. Additionally, we use mathematical and logical models including trees, LDA QDA, SVM, deep learning, and many more.
Databases Highly structured way to store large sets of data with easy queying and manipulation.
Data Warehousing Data repositories too large and varied for a traditional relational database using hadoop spark, noSQL techniques and more.
Statistics Basic statistics to statistical learning using R.
