# Data Scientist

#### Gain deeper insights from data analysis with statistical programming

Data Scientists work with datasets that are too large for manual analysis in order to gain deeper insights from data. Unlike Data Analysts, Data Scientists are expected to have a greater mastery of mathematics, statistics and statistical programming. They are expected to be familiar with popular Python libraries such as TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, and popular R libraries such as ggplot2, XGBoost, Caret, and Dplyr. Data Scientists often work with massive datasets via NoSQL and Oracle, and are expected to be familiar with common Machine Learning models such as Neural Networks, Linear & Logistic Regression, and Natural Language Processing.
