Math for Machine Learning Workshop

Do you feel that you lack the mathematical understanding behind machine learning algorithms?

Are you hesitant in learning data science and machine learning because you are not confident about the mathematical prerequisites?

Do you want to brush up on the mathematical concepts you might have studied during college?

Well, this workshop is all about getting you ready and being confident in understanding the mathematical prerequisites like Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Optimisation required to thrive in the field of machine learning.

This one-month workshop (eight sessions) shall cover all these topics live whiteboarding and include a conceptual explanation with a live python demonstration of the same.

We shall also practice numerical problems together, and you will be asked to do a little bit of homework here and there to solidify your understanding.

The workshop is designed to be interactive with smaller batch size and tailored towards an audience looking to improve their mathematical foundations working in the space of Data Science and Machine Learning.

Why learn mathematics for machine learning or data science?

Models and algorithms in Data Science use mathematical constructs in the background. The necessary understanding would help you move beyond standard implementations and unravel the mystery behind these models. You'll be able to read and understand research papers and take on advanced machine learning courses having this understanding.
