People are often has this question in there mind , Do we really need Maths in Data Science??

and the answer is YES , we do need to excel it ? YES .

If you are familiar with Data structure Algorithm , It is the main concept in Data Science and Many people trying to Justify they no longer need mathematic based background , but in reality you really need mathematics background.

The primary issue is that many people attempting to learn data structures are inept at fundamental programming.

Individuals become preoccupied with data structures and algorithms far too soon in their growth as programmers. This arises because everyone has heard that having a firm grasp of data structures and algorithms is necessary for technical interviews (a.k.a. landing a job), and as a result, individuals become fascinated with learning these subjects.

They are unaware that they would be better served by first acquiring the art of building simple programs in their preferred language.

Many people are also illiterate in mathematics, because reasoning about data structures and algorithms requires rigorous reasoning and proofs. If you lack mathematical maturity, you will have a difficult time.

Show me someone who is adept at simple programming and has a passing knowledge of mathematics, and I’ll show you someone who is unlikely to struggle with data structures.

CONCLUSION

In Conclusion you really need Mathematics , the topics like Variance , Probability and Statistics etc. are the main concepts or topics which are really important in this field.
