What is data science?

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms, both structured and unstructured, similar to data mining.
And the journal of data science explains it as “[…] almost everything that has something to do with data: Collecting, analyzing, modelling…yet the most important part is its applications — all sorts of applications ”.
Basically Data Science is about using data to create as much impact as possible for your company and society, which can be in form of multiple things like insights, data products or in the form of product recommendations, now to do those things then you need tools like making complicated models or data visualizations or writing code.
In 2012, when Harvard Business Review called it “The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century”, the term “data science” became a buzzword. It is now often used interchangeably with earlier concepts like business analytics, business intelligence, predictive modelling, and statistics.
But essentially the main task of a data scientist is to solve real company problems using data
