Data analytics is becoming central to modern society. In the business world, financial institutions rely on data analysis to detect and prevent fraud; retailers combine transaction data with social media and emails to build a better understanding of their clients; industrial giants use sensor data to improve their carbon footprint. Meanwhile, bioinformatics, astronomy, and particle physics are just a few of the sciences that are being transformed by the availability of large data sets and new techniques for analyzing data. Cities, governments and social agencies are leveraging data analytics for important causes such as improving public health and planning for (and reacting to) natural disasters.
