Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one
idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
💡 Key Idea
Data Science vs. Data Engineering vs. Analytics
Know the roles that turn data into decisions.
Data Science extracts insights and builds models from data. Data Engineering builds the infrastructure to collect, store, and process data. Analytics applies statistical and computational methods to describe and interpret data for decision-making.
↳ Data engineering supports analytics, which is a core part of data science.
⚖️ Comparison
Reporting vs. Analytics
Reports show what happened; analytics explains why.
↳ Reporting is descriptive; analytics goes deeper to diagnose and predict.
💡 Key Idea
The Analytics Process
A structured path from raw data to insight.
↳ Analytics is a systematic process, not a single tool or technique.
