[Daniel Duffy]

" "Big Data" is an important topic these days, not only in finance but also in other industries where quantitative skills are in high demand. We have it covered in this guide. You will learn what it means, how to prepare and reinvent yourself for this growing job market."

My question: "what is quantitative in this context?" What are its dimensions?
