An article, "So, What's Your Algorithm," from today's Wall Street Journal discusses the opportunities associated with enormous databases, and the need for people with analytical skills who can develop appropriate algorithms. "... analytics harvested from massive databases will begin to inform our day-to-day business decisions. Call it big data, analytics, or decision science." The amount of data out there is truly staggering.
A great opporunity for actuarial science majors, math and statistics majors, and others with quantitative and analytical skills to have an important impact on the future.
