資料科學(Data Science)這個名詞是近幾年非常流行的概念，它其實講的是跨領域(Interdisciplinary)的組成，這些學科包含如下：
- 數學 (Mathematics)
- 統計 (Statistics)
- 化學計量學 (Chemometrics)
- 資訊科學 (Information Science)
- 電腦科學 (Computer Science)
- 機率學 (Probability Theory)
- 機器學習 (Machine Learning)
- 統計學習 (Statistical Learning)
- 資料探勘 (Data Mining)
- 資料庫 (Database)
- 資料工程 (Data Engineering)
- 模式識別 (Pattern Recognition)
- 視覺化 (Visualization)
- 預測分析 (Predictive Analytics)
- 不確定性建模 (Uncertainty Modeling)
- 資料倉儲 (Data Warehousing)
- 資料壓縮 (Data Compression)、
- 電腦程式 (Computer Programming)
- 人工智慧 (Artificial Intelligence)、
- 高效能運算 (High Performance Computing)
資料科學領域知識包羅萬象，其中更包含特定領域知識的資料挖掘手法，因此資料科學在多個複雜學科中應運而生，既然是資料科學實驗室，就不能不推薦國外的資料科學相關書籍，以下為國外收集的免費資料科學相關書籍，不完全是新書，但希望可以協助讀者能更深入的了解這塊領域，其中幾個學科是必須知道的，像是R、Python這兩個資料科學主流語言，以及人工智慧、機器學習、資料探勘、資料庫等理論與工具書，都是進入資料科學領域的必學知識。
