“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.” ― Richard Feynman
*Hacker Math for Machine Learning* *Date: 3, 4 Dec 2016* *Venue: Diamond District, Bangalore* Proficiency in Linear Algebra and Statistics, is a must for anyone pursuing a career in data science. The goal of this workshop is to introduce some key concepts that get used repeatedly in data science applications. Our approach is what we call the “Hacker’s way”. Instead of going back to formulae and proofs, we teach the concepts by writing code. And in practical applications. Concepts don’t remain sticky if the usage is never taught. Topics from three areas are chosen - Hypothesis Testing, Supervised Learning and Unsupervised Learning.
