Question

Hello Trilok,

While data analysts and data scientists both work with data, the main difference lies in what they do with it. Data analysts examine large data sets to identify trends, develop charts, and create visual presentations to help businesses make more strategic decisions. Data scientists, on the other hand, design and construct new processes for data modeling and production using prototypes, algorithms, predictive models, and custom analysis.
Database systems, Data mining, data structures and algorithms, discrete mathematics are few modules designed for masters in data science. Whereas, for masters in data analytics you would be dealing with a few subjects like, calculus and linear algebra, statistics, visualizations, data mining etc.

Hope this helps. All the Best!
