In this video, I will talk about what I believe to be the most important skill when learning Machine Learning, Data Science and AI: Math and Mathematical intuition.

I will explain why Statistics is the most important Mathematical Branch to get a good intuition for when studying Machine Learning and share a little “trick” with you on how to approach equations and formulas from Machine Learning Bootcamps instead of memorizing them, including an example.

I will then give you a list of core concepts from Probability, Statistics, Linear Algebra, Calculus and Machine Learning as a roadmap for your own studies as well as show you free online resources for where to learn all these skills.
