How to become a Data Scientist – freeCodeCamp

The main topics concerning mathematics that you should familiarize yourself with if you want to go into data science are probability, statistics, and linear algebra. As you learn more about other topics such as statistical learning (machine learning) these core mathematical foundations will serve as a base for you to continue learning from. Let's briefly describe each and give you a few resources to learn from! Probability -- is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. A lot of data science is based on attempting to measure likelihood of events, everything from the odds of an advertisement getting clicked on, to the probability of failure for a part on an assembly line. For this classic topic I recommend going with a book, such as A First Course in Probability by Sheldon Ross or Probability Theory by E.T. Jaynes.
