Hello Jayanth,

Data science is the field of study where experts or data scientists uses programming knowledge ,mathematics and statistics to bring out or generate meaningful insights from raw data. It is related to producing artificial intelligence system to replace the human intelligence to do tasks. It is broader branch of study compared to data analytics where analysts use these meaningful insights to arrive at conclusions ,make informed decisions and solve problems or answers questions . They basically use what has been generated by data scientists . Data analytics is a micro sub-field of data science. Also in data science there is heavy coding , hence that is the major skill required , need to know a lot of programming languages, whereas knowledge in math and statistics can help you survive in data analytics.

Major areas of data science are machine learning, AI, search engine engineering and corporate analytics. On the other hand , data analytics is used in healthcare, gaming, travel, industries with immediate data needs.

Hope it helps
