Big data and data science are transforming our world today in ways we could not have imagined at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The accompanying wave of innovation has sparked advances in healthcare, engineering, business, science, and human perception, among others. In this chapter we discuss big data and data science to establish a context for the state-of-the-art technologies and applications in this book. In addition, to provide a starting point for new researchers, we present an overview of big data management and analytics methods. Finally, we suggest opportunities for future research.
