into the art of sophistication — a story of a poet

Let me explain you my experience about this question , during my school days i was a bright student in mathematics but unfortunately i’m very bad at my college mathematics . so probably i thought this same question ,when i first get into machine learning .

after a couple months of learning, my thoughs were narrowed into both yes and no.
we can do machine learning without knowing maths but, yeah there is a big but … we can’t learn ML without mathematics . we are able to impleament machine learning systems,models and so on without maths, there are many libraries such as Tensorflow,PyTorch,Theano etc… with the help of these libraries we can implement machine learning systems in less than 30 lines of code.

love the art of sophistication

yeah the word sophistication is defines the quality of being sophisticated , so we can’t get the pleasure of making, without learning mathematics so you should learn it better for a good understanding. we all know it’s bit bitter but after biting a large chunk of Machine learning mathematics you can feel the josh behind it so i am personally recommending to learn mathematics for Machine learning . i will make a brief story about the mathematics for machine learning in next post . stay tuned :)
