“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”
—Albert Einstein
You do not need a background in algebra and statistics to get started in machine learning. However, be under no illusions, mathematics is a huge part of machine learning. Math is key to understanding how the algorithm works and why coding a machine learning project from scratch is a great way to improve your mathematical and statistical skills. Not understanding the underlying principles behind an algorithm can lead to a limited understanding of methods or adopting limited interpretations of algorithms. ...
