Advice him asome course related to data science, data analytics, machine learning etc. In 5 years he will be ahead of some of the guys who went for the heavy courses.

Hizo umesema kama hajui hesabu especally Linear Algebra and Statistics then awachane nazo. Hawesmek

But he can be a data Engineer since they work together with data scientists. He just needs to learn a programming language like Python or java or Scala. Learn databases and he will be fine. Plus you dont need to know the maths data scientists and Machine learning guys have to know

This are just fancy titles data science, data engeneer, machine learning...
Unless you are employed at the research labs themselves that do robotics and stuff, you don't need the calculus or statistics or any advanced maths, it's just application and anyone with an interest in the same will do well.

It applies across, medicine, engeneering, law any body with an interest and of average intelligence Wil do well, specialized intelligence is only needed in research, the application side is not that complex.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I think you are the one who has no idea of what you are talking about. Those job descriptions are different, there is nothing interchangeable.

Why do you think companies like Amazon have different job descriptions for them? https://www.amazon.jobs/en/job_categories/business-intelligence

where people say that jobs are the same are those companies who don't know what they are looking for

I did not mention that jobs are the same, was highlighting the the need for mathematics

The fact that you are using the same reply twice means that you copied this reply from some other place and know nothing.

If let's say KCB bank wants to create a new mobile app with a loan lending feature that determines who to give and who to deny loans and what amount to give. You think any Kamau, Otieno and Wanjala who know python data science libraries or R can create such a model without a solid Mathematics and stats background?

The Data Scientist will come up with the model and what variables it will be based on
The Data Engineer will help with the cleaning of this data, create a pipeline for the data scientist to work with. for its storage
The data scientist will then analyze the data, create insights then finally come up with a model
The mAchine learning Engineer will translate this model created by the data scientist into production code for the app together with the dev team

After deploying the model to production the data scientist will continue refining it, the ML engineer keeps updating it on production and the data engineer ensures there is a smooth pipeline for the data scientist.

And this is why I still insist that Just because you know Pandas, TensorFlow, Sci-kit learn and other libraries will not make you a Data scientist if you don't have the math background

This article explains it in depth https://www.datacamp.com/community/blog/data-scientist-vs-data-engineer
