🧾 Course Requirements: Machine Learning

✅ Prerequisites (for Learners)

These foundational skills will help ensure a smooth and effective learning experience:

• Basic Programming Skills (Python or R)
• Python is the most widely used programming language for machine learning, so familiarity with Python is recommended. Key libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn are essential.
• Basic knowledge of R can also be useful, but Python is preferred for this course.
• Mathematics & Statistics Fundamentals
• A basic understanding of mathematics, particularly linear algebra, probability theory, calculus, and statistics, is critical for understanding machine learning algorithms.
• Key concepts include:
• Linear algebra: Vectors, matrices, and operations.
• Calculus: Derivatives, gradients, and optimization.
• Probability and statistics: Random variables, distributions, Bayes' Theorem, hypothesis testing, and p-values.
• Understanding of Data
• Familiarity with handling datasets and basic data analysis concepts, such as data preprocessing, data cleaning, and data manipulation, will help you work efficiently with machine learning models.
• Knowledge of Pandas (for data manipulation) and NumPy (for numerical computations) is particularly useful.
• Basic Knowledge of Algorithms
• A foundational understanding of algorithms and data structures (such as sorting, searching, recursion, etc.) will help when diving into machine learning algorithms.

No advanced knowledge of machine learning is required; however, understanding the concepts mentioned above will make the course more effective and enjoyable.
