Firstly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/data-product-manager-everything-about-this-big-data-job\">study of data and the creation of a Data Product<\/a> requires the ability to understand data sets through a quantitative prism. Relationships between data can be highlighted mathematically. As a result, some of the problems faced by companies need to be solved by analytical models derived from the study of mathematics.<\/p><p>Many people think that data science is all about statistics. However, statistics are not the only form of mathematics necessarily used: many <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/mlops-devops-applied-to-machine-learning-projects\">Machine Learning algorithms<\/a> use linear algebra, for example.<\/p><p>So, generally speaking, a good data scientist needs to have a fairly well-developed knowledge of mathematics.<\/p><p>The Data Scientist must also demonstrate great technological creativity. Indeed, he or she uses technology to study large quantities of data, using algorithms of great difficulty, and to solve difficult problems.<\/p><p>As such, the Data Scientist needs to know how to code, prototype solutions and integrate them into systems. Among the most widely used data science languages are <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/comparing-scala-and-python-choosing-the-right-language-for-your-projects\">Python and SQL.
