First thing if you are a beginner and have decided you want to | Data Science, Machine Learning, AI & IOT

First thing if you are a beginner and have decided you want to learn Data Science then know that it is a journey (6 months - 1 year at least) and not a 1 month thing where u do some courses and you are a data scientist. There are different fields in Data Science that you have to first get familiar and strong in basics as well as do hands-on to get the abilities that are required to function in a full time job opportunity. Then further delve into advanced implementations.

There are plenty of roadmaps and online content both paid and free that you can follow. In a nutshell. A few essential things that will be necessary and in no particular order that will at least get your data science journey started are below:

Basic Statistics, Linear Algebra, calculus, probability
Programming language (R or Python) - Preferably Python if you rather want to later on move into a developer role instead of sticking to data science.
Machine Learning - All of the above will be used here to implement machine learning concepts.
Data Visualisation - again it could be simple excel or via r/python libraries or tools like Tableau,PowerBI etc.

This can be overwhelming but again its just an indication of what lies ahead. So most important thing is to just START instead of just contemplating the best way to go about this. Since lot of things can be learnt independently as well in no particular order.
