Course Description

Mathematics is the backbone of machine learning, and to truly excel in this field, you need a strong grasp of key mathematical concepts. From understanding data to optimising complex models, math provides the foundation for machine learning algorithms. If you want to develop, understand, and fine-tune machine learning models with confidence, this course is for you.

Many people find math intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be! When taught with real-world examples and practical applications, even the most complex concepts become easy to grasp. That’s why this course focuses on intuitive, hands-on learning rather than overwhelming you with abstract theory.

The Mathematics foundation for ML course is designed to make complex topics simple, intuitive, and engaging. Instead of dry theory from textbooks or scattered tutorials online, we offer a structured, step-by-step approach with dynamic, beautifully animated lessons that bring mathematical concepts to life.

Through this course, you will:

  • Gain a solid foundation in linear algebra, calculus, probability, and optimisation—essential for ML.
  • Learn how ML models work under the hood, from matrix operations to gradients.
  • Engage with real-world examples and storytelling that make math both accessible and exciting.
  • Reinforce your learning with interactive exercises and hands-on practice.

This course is perfect for students, professionals, and anyone aspiring to break into machine learning. A basic understanding of high school math is recommended, but no advanced background is required.

By the end of this course, you’ll see math not as an obstacle but as a powerful tool that unlocks the true potential of machine learning. Plus, you’ll earn a certificate of achievement to showcase your new skills.
