Answered By Mentor Shivali Maheshwari

Hi Sanya,


While data science can involve complex math, not all data scientists need advanced calculus or derivations. The level of math depends on your specific role and projects. Focus on understanding foundational math like statistics, linear algebra, and probability. Master practical data analysis techniques, programming, and machine learning. If needed, you can delve deeper into math as your projects demand, but practical skills and domain knowledge are often more crucial than advanced math for many data science roles.
