Hello,

Yes, you can become a data scientist with a strong background in Mathematics and Statistics . However, you will need to learn programming (Python, R, SQL) and machine learning to work effectively with data.

To become a data scientist , you usually need a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, or Statistics . Many data scientists also have a master's or Ph.D.

Hope it helps !
