What's the difference between Data Science and Data Analysis?

The reason I ask is because I was expecting to see the Data Science course under the Data Analysis track and library. Is the Data Analysis track for people pursuing Data Science careers?

I would think that "Data Science" was the broader term, and "Data Analysis" would be one aspect of it.

But here, I suspect the "Data Science Basics" course is in the "Python" category not because of the topic but only because the coding examples are all done in Python.
