About the technology

Most businesses realize they need to apply data science and effective machine learning to gain and maintain a competitive edge. To build these applications, they need developers comfortable writing code and using tools steeped in statistics, linear algebra, and calculus. Math also plays an integral role in other modern applications like game development, computer graphics and animation, image and signal processing, pricing engines, and stock market analysis.
