Data science effectively rebranded statistics but removed the requirement of deep statistical knowledge to allow people to get by with a cursory understanding of how to get some python library to spit out a result.

I dont know anything about Data Science but as a bystander with a mathematical background thats what I assumed was going on so its kindof interesting to see it spelt out like that. Like you've put words to a preconception that I didnt even know I had.



That's because businesses don't require a deep level of math knowledge.
