Hi @SakhileNdlovu,
Which career path are you referring to specifically — Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Power BI, Data Science, or Machine Learning?
The answer depends on the path.
If you mean Data Engineering, then yes, you can start without a strong mathematics background. Data Engineering is usually more focused on:
- SQL
- Python or PySpark basics
- Databases
- Data pipelines
- Cloud platforms
- Lakehouse and warehouse concepts
- Data quality and orchestration
Math becomes more important if you move into Data Science, Machine Learning, or advanced statistics.
So if your goal is Data Engineering, I would focus first on the fundamentals and build small end-to-end projects. You do not need advanced mathematics to start, but logical thinking and problem solving are very important.
