Essential Math for Machine Learning: Python Edition

- Hi and welcome to this course on essential mathematics. I'm Graham Malcolm and I'll be your guide as we explore some core mathematical concepts, techniques, and notation that you're going to find useful if you want to work with machine learning and AI. Now the first thing you should know is that I'm not a mathematician and this course is not designed to make you one either. Instead, this course focuses on some essential mathematical foundations on which machine learning and artificial intelligence are built. We'll start off with some basic algebra to get started with equations and functions. Then we'll dive into some differential calculus to explore derivatives and optimization. Next we'll look at some linear algebra and cover vectors and matrices before finally getting to grips with some statistics and probability. To if, like me, it's been a while since you studied math at school, this course is designed to help you get up to speed on the key concepts and notation on which machine learning and AI are based.
