1. It is an interdisciplinary subject: statistics, mathematics and computer are the three supporting disciplines; Biology, medicine, environmental science, economics, sociology and management are applied and expanded disciplines. In addition, you need to learn data acquisition, analysis and processing software, mathematical modeling software and computer programming language. The knowledge structure is a cross-border talent (with professional knowledge and data thinking).

2. Basic courses: mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, introduction to general physical mathematics and information science, data structure, introduction to data science, introduction to programming and programming practice. Compulsory courses: discrete mathematics, probability statistics, algorithm analysis and design, data computing intelligence, introduction to database system, computer system foundation, parallel architecture and programming, unstructured big data analysis.

The major of data science and big data technology is an undergraduate major in colleges and universities, which belongs to computer major. The basic study period is four years, and the bachelor degree in science or engineering is awarded. ?

This major cultivates the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor, and grasps the basic knowledge, theories and technologies of data science, including the basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics and computers in the application of big data, and the basic theories, methods and skills of data modeling, efficient analysis and processing and statistical inference.
