The Fastest Way To Learn Data Analysis — Even If You’re Not A “Numbers Person”


If you still get anxious thinking about math quizzes and stay far away from numbers-heavy fields, then data analytics might seem way out of your comfort zone. But here’s the thing your math teachers probably never told you: You don’t have to be a math whiz or a “numbers person” to work with data.
Data analytics is all about the process of collecting and analyzing data for insights. A Data Analyst often works with numerical data and stats, but that doesn’t mean they’re doing complicated arithmetic in their head. “In fact, you’ll come to find that a lot of data science is situating numbers in their context,” explains Michelle McSweeney, Codecademy’s Data Science Domain Manager. A Business Intelligence (BI) Data Analyst, for example, is someone who uses statistics and analytics to write reports and build dashboards that help organizations turn data into actionable insights.
