Data science is an interdisciplinary academic field that uses

statistics, scientific computing, scientific methods, processing,
scientific visualization, algorithms and systems to extract or
extrapolate knowledge from potentially noisy, structured, or
unstructured data. Data science also integrates domain knowledge from
the underlying application domain (e.g., natural sciences,
information technology, and medicine). Data science is multifaceted
and can be described as a science, a research paradigm, a research
method, a discipline, a workflow, and a profession. Data science is
"a concept to unify statistics, data analysis, informatics, and their
related methods" to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with
data. It uses techniques and theories drawn from many fields within
the context of mathematics, statistics, computer science, information
science, and domain knowledge. However, data science is different
from computer science and information science. Turing Award winner
Jim Gray imagined data science as a "fourth paradigm" of science
(empirical, theoretical, computational, and now data-driven) and
asserted that "everything about science is changing because of the
impact of information technology" and the data deluge. A data
scientist is a professional who creates programming code and combines
it with statistical knowledge to summarize data. == Foundations ==
Data science is an interdisciplinary field focused on extracting
knowledge from typically large data sets and applying the knowledge
from that data to solve problems in other application domains.

Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and the phenomena that occur
in the cosmos. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry to explain their origin and
their overall evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae,
galaxies, meteoroids, asteroids, and comets. Relevant phenomena include supernova
explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background
radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates beyond Earth's
atmosphere. Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the universe as a whole.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform

tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning,
problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. It is a field of research in
computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable mac
to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that
maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. High-profile applications of AI
include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search); recommendation syst
(used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix); virtual assistants (e.g., Google Assistant,
Siri, and Alexa); autonomous vehicles (e.g., Waymo); generative and creative tools
(e.g., language models and AI art); and superhuman play and analysis in strategy g
(e.g., chess and Go). However, many AI applications are not perceived as AI: "A lot
cutting edge AI has filtered into general applications, often without being called AI
because once something becomes useful enough and common enough it's not labe
anymore." Various subfields of AI research are centered around particular goals an
the use of particular tools. The traditional goals of AI research include learning,
reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing,
perception, and support for robotics. To reach these goals, AI researchers have
adapted and integrated a wide range of techniques, including search and mathema
optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on
statistics, operations research, and economics.

Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Computer

science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation,
and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and
implementation of hardware and software). Algorithms and data structures are central
to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of
computation and general classes of problems that can be solved using them. The
fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure
communication and preventing security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics and
computational geometry address the generation of images. Programming language theory
considers different ways to describe computational processes, and database theory
concerns the management of repositories of data. Human–computer interaction
investigates the interfaces through which humans and computers interact, and
software engineering focuses on the design and principles behind developing
software. Areas such as operating systems, networks and embedded systems investigate
the principles and design behind complex systems. Computer architecture describes
the construction of computer components and computer-operated equipment.

Sociology is the scientific study of human society that focuses on society,

human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction,
and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. The term sociology was
coined in the late 18th century to describe the scientific study of society.
Regarded as a part of both the social sciences and humanities, sociology uses
various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a
body of knowledge about social order and social change. Sociological subject
matter ranges from micro-level analyses of individual interaction and agency
to macro-level analyses of social systems and social structure. Applied
sociological research may be applied directly to social policy and welfare,
whereas theoretical approaches may focus on the understanding of social
processes and phenomenological method.

Cryptography, or cryptology (from Ancient Greek: κρυπτ■ς, romanized: kryptós

"hidden, secret"; and γρ■φειν graphein, "to write", or -λογ■α -logia,
"study", respectively), is the practice and study of techniques for secure
communication in the presence of adversarial behavior. More generally,
cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that prevent
third parties or the public from reading private messages. Modern
cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics,
computer science, information security, electrical engineering, digital
signal processing, physics, and others. Core concepts related to information
security (data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication and
non-repudiation) are also central to cryptography. Practical applications of
cryptography include electronic commerce, chip-based payment cards, digital
currencies, computer passwords and military communications.

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its

design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of
significant indentation. Python is dynamically type-checked and
garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms,
including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and
functional programming. Guido van Rossum began working on Python in
the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC programming language. Python
3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision not completely
backward-compatible with earlier versions. Recent versions, such as
Python 3.12, have added capabilites and keywords for typing (and
more; e.g. increasing speed); helping with (optional) static typing.
Currently only versions in the 3.x series are supported. Python
consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages,
and it has gained widespread use in the machine learning community.
