Book DescriptionMany machine learning developers and data scientists struggle with core linear algebra concepts and techniques used to design and implement ML algorithms. Instead of covering only theoretical knowledge (definitions, theorems, and proofs), this book will focus on explaining fundamental mathematical concepts with examples while providing scenarios and practice exercises.
To build a strong mathematical foundation you will begin with linear algebra, the fundamental principles of vectors and matrices, including techniques like Gaussian elimination and the Gram-Schmidt process. As you progress, you'll recognise the significance of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in this mathematical framework, which are integral components of understanding machine learning algorithms and their applications. Next, it delves into differential and integral Calculus, leveraging the essence of multivariate Calculus and ML gradients. You will also gain knowledge of probability rules and probability distributions and finally discover the power of statistics from summary statistics to linear regression. Finally, you will gain hands-on experience with popular Python libraries NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib by exploring mathematical functions.
By the end of this book, you will master the mathematical concepts to build smart, fast, and efficient ML models.What you will learn
Learn essential linear algebra to understand and create ML algorithms
Understand optimization techniques using calculus operations and concepts
Explore probability calculations and concepts to enhance optimization understanding
Learn summary statistics, quantiles, and different probability distributions
